Poem Artwork

Lightning zings down the backs of
my legs, originating from the
thunderhead lodged in my spine:

should be used it by now.  But this
is one storm that has stalled and
shows no sign of weakening ----

it's getting stronger, the older I
get.  Add Fibro to the mix.  The
VA says, 'It's all in your head' ----

they give me Tylenol and Motrin
to ease the sirensong of pain
screaming at a warning pitch ----

like that's going to do any good
when I have tornadoes and
hurricanes as bed partners ----

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (7/24)

INSOMNIA! A constant companion Karla. As for your pain, I can only wish that you did not have to experience that demon. Your poem tells your story with great imagination as the other folks have so aptly related and I concur. Be with joy and love my dear friend. Jon Michael

This is so imaginatively delivered, Karla, the pain communicates. I'm sorry you have such trouble and I can relate only too well.
Take care of yourself.

Fibro and sciatica: NOT a good combo! You've been living in pain for far too long; good thing you're not a horse ... I would have to put you out of your misery. LOL Sorry ... trying to make you smile, or at least laugh out loud! Wish I could do more! Love you! Know you are always in my prayers/thoughts!

A painful write with vivid imagery! OUCH!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

Hurricanes in bed with ya should give you a thrill and blowing from the tornado could be more of a thrill depending on where it blows...;-) ed
