[ s n a p ]

... so !loud! it was, the [snap] of
spine that unhinged the legs, that
dropped me, use less, on the floor --

does anybody see  it,
the last straw that broke the back?
Gotta be 'round here.  Somewhere.

Take it away.  Maybe if
found, they can fix things and get
me back to what normal was.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (8/23)

Those straws are hard to give back, but they tend to open the eyes a little wider. Great piece Karla!

Metaphorically and humorously speaking, cuz we ain't got any metafiveically to talk different, we have a chriopracter here in Kansas with a night job as a dancing scarecrow, perfect for straw backs...ouch, that hurt some more didn't it? But it was fun...Jerry

Why is it called The Last Straw Karla? Bloody straws, it never is the last one - there is always another pesky straw just around the corner! This particular Last Straw was very good at it's job, {SNAP} so good, one thinks the other full load of darn straws had nothing to do with it!
Good poem - and as my camel is refusing to move off the floor, i will have to walk to the beach for a snooze without her, poor likkle camel - she could use the sunshine and the rest i think :o) Nicky x

Karla I think like Holly, what is normal when we get up in age, I think it is great when I can get out of bed and a miracle when I can walk the stairs without a moan so yes I've felt that SNAP and know where you are coming from. Thank you for sharing.

Bend but please don't snap no more.
Like the doctor said..."take two aspirins and see me in the morning" after all it is not is pain he is talking about.
Cheer up girl, you are the one of us that is in the Armed Force with wings!!!

Some would ask in this day and age, "What is normal?" Seems no ones quite sure anymore. I'll keep on praying for you my dear, love Holly
