My intent was to post this on Friday, but I never made the time. Life has been full of fun; fun that required running around and not sitting here at my computer. Sadly, I am tardy with my first Random Acts of Poetry, but I will post it anyway.
The challenge, from L.L. Barkat at Seedlings in Stone was to collect words. I read the assignment on Thursday, while at work, and was only able to collect two words. (none of which I used in the poem that I wrote) When I went to create my poem on paper, I was distracted by the pain that I am experiencing because of a bulged disc in my neck and carpal tunnel syndrome. I am not complaining, but my condition has been quite distracting as of late. So, I decided to use it and this is what I came up with.
One day I was finished
I had all I could take
The pain in my neck
I could no longer shake
I picked up the phone
and selected a time
to meet with my doctor
so able and kind
Heeding my words ordered
conversations and tests
treating my ail with
pharmaceuticals and rest
Next week a new measure
includes needles and drugs
Epidurals and steroids
I"ll need lots of hugs
Prayers for my healing
Prayers for my fear
So that's been my life
Restoration is near!

Ouch! This makes me hurt!
I'm sorry for the pain, but love the inspiration.
Hope all is well soon.
I'm always behind.
May God shower His healing upon you.
Glad I am here to share in the discovery of yours...
(Hey, have you heard of Topricin? An over-the-counter that is supposed to be good for carpal tunnel.)
