So Tired (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #29)   Leave a comment

I'm just so tired 
Jaw packed with knives and fire
At least the cat purrs

Pain Storm (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #28)   Leave a comment

Got caught in a pain storm
It soaked me to the bone
Drenching me in agony
Until it's only a drizzle
And I can wring my soul dry

Pain (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #27)   Leave a comment

Today I sit here in pain
It is making me feel quite insane
I'm very unhappy
That I'm feeling so crappy
So I'm writing this limerick to complain.

Tight Shoulder (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #13)   Leave a comment

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.
