Random Acts Of Poetry

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!
