Poem Artwork

Neck, shoulders, wrists, elbows,
back:  all sing a pain song,
each vying to out-ouch
the other, and I, the
stage on which they perform ----

'Live!  Held over for an
extended run, the aches
of Fibromyalgia
accompanied by the
stiffness of arthritis!

Matinee times added
by popular demand!'
Huh.  'Popular demand.'
Didn't ask me ---- who do
they think I am, Broadway??

They dance and sing all night
long.  Audiences love 
it.  Their shows, according
to the reviews in the
paper, a sure fire hit ----

Sure.  They get top billing,
using my body as
their spotlight and I get
second fiddle.  Without
me, there would be no them!  : /

Karla,

How I identify! After a year of a damaged neck, than surgery, plus a bad back, I feel in my 70s instead of 50s. Worst thing, I haven't been able to write for six months. I hope you are well soon, or at least are not in pain. Wonderful write and gave me a smile!

i AM SO SORRY. My friend Elizabeth Hebron has Fibromyalgia. (You and Eliz would adore each other.) I know from her experience just how
painful and debilitating it can be. Now that I am past the big 7-0, I am suffering from aches and pains a lot more often, and I have to confess, I have a hard time not feeling sorry for myself. Don't always succeed! And these are just common, everyday, garden variety a's & p's!!!!
Why the H does life have to be so ***** hard???
Nuffa the rantin' & ravin'.
Take care of yourself, Luv !! Try not to overdo [said the pot to the kettle], and eat right but not 'too' :), 'cet, 'cet. Sure you get
sick of 2-bit advice!!!

Poem's great, by the by.

Think SPRING. I LOVE YOU.

All the world's a stage. And the stage needs writers. And you're a damn good one.

Humor does heal:) At the very least, it lets us forget the pain for a bit. Cute and playful poem, Karla. Hugs,

As a theater person and a healer, I can relate to your poem...I know I have said this before, but remember pain is a memory...If you can release the memory of how this pain feels, it will diminish it's affect on you...

I send healing energy to you my dear Karla, with hopes that you will find a bit of relief...close your eyes and breath in healing light, and let it flow to where your pain is. Each breath gives you fresh new energy...

Love you,
Amber "V"

Karla, this perspective so so unique, so you. Can't say more except perhaps that I'm a tad envious of your skill. Love and hugs, J'nia

Feel better soon, if possible. The chronic nature of your ailments leave you little to hold on to. But you seem to anyway. Through your writing, caring, and even chasing storms. May your pain lessen and your joy increase. Hugs, Liz

Well Karla between my diabetes, heart problems, BP and feet problem thrown in I know I have similiar characters performing up here in Canada too. Glad we can still take it with a smile on our faces for when we stop smiling it will be because we no longer feel at all...right/

LOL!! Karla, you are so funny. I'm so glad you can make some humour out of the pain.

My hubby can tell the weather with his bones. He can tell me two weeks ahead that a snowstorm would be here in Toronto, and he was right in most predictions.

Love from your friend in Toronto, Sandie Angel :o) XXX
