Show Your Face


Narcotic rambles down to knee
Miniscule drops trickle down
To foot under blood soaked gauze
Drug uses dulled hatchet
Cuts off the sharp edges

I like this, Judy. I think it is a good idea to capture just a snippet of your day in a short poem like this. This poem lets me feel your pain. OUCH!

This small stone definitely irritates the senses, Judy.

This makes me curious about the small stone again. I think we have looked at this small stone idea before but I can't remember it well. I hope your feet feel brand new soon! Good capture of a snippet of your day.

I like this one, Judy. Short but wrapped up so beautifully!

Whew, Judy, I wish you didn't have this particular snippet of your day to even consider, but you sure did a great job getting the point across so succinctly.

This is strong Judy. I've experienced the narcotic dulling the sharp edge of pain- well described. Hope the need for dulling passes soon.
