My shoulder is a taught bowstring
Waiting in vain for an arrow
How I wish I could take the shot
Releasing the tension
Finally getting to relax enough
To unstring the bow

Growing Pains (National Poetry Writing Month 2022 #14) Leave a comment
Growing pains like little trees
Taking root in my deep tissues
Nurtured by time and bad habit
Branching out to my extremities
With scarlet red blossoms of life
I'm awash in the experience
The blooming gives to anquish
And makes me feel alive.
