The Two Hundred Sixty First, September 18, 2011

moving along
going strong
push it forward
making the move

feeling good
set the pace
keep it going
feel it pop

pain explodes
stabbing through
knee gives out
ending the day

it felt good
right up until
now crutches
I hate growing old

  1. Ouch!! I can almost feel the pain in the stanza "knee gives out". I really can relate to this poem. How I miss jogging!! I hate growing old too!

  2. It's an illusion of old age...we find our recovery path and enjoy the vigor of our new-found youth when it arrives...........ok, I'm delusional (smiles)
