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
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

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!
ReplyDeleteIt'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)
