OctPoWriMo Day 21

Photo by MDragonwillow
I went to the orthopedist on Friday and the doc says, at minimum, I have sprained/torn my MCL and maybe also my meniscus. He said I won't be able to work for at least six weeks unless the MRI shows the meniscus is torn and then I'll need surgery. Yeah... Oh, and I have a new fancy brace. Without working the medical bills are piling up. I decided to create, Morgan's Medical Fundraiser on Facebook. Tomorrow I have to call around and see about a wheel chair because my right knee can't take much more of having to do all of the work. I hope last week went better for you than it did for me.


My frustration level has increased tenfold so this prompt is quite fitting.

Poetry Prompts:

Frustration wells inside, what do you do? How do you handle your frustrations when they stack on top of each other until you feel like you are going to scream? Write for ten minutes while thinking about those questions. Pull one sentence out and write some more, getting to the meat of it. 

Word Prompts:

Screaming into the wind
overwhelm
enough is enough
letting go

Suggested Poetry Type: Shape poetry

Music:

Dance it out, I wish I could. Maybe I will crank the music and dance in my seat.



How are things going for you? Have anything interesting happen last week? Good news? Bad news? Poetry flowing? Tell us about it.

Peace,
Morgan Dragonwillow

  2. Those who dislike dark and depressive poetry would be well advised to avoid this one.
    Screaming Inside Myself
    Hope all goes well. I know it would be driving me crazy to not be able to do anything. I'm very impatient by nature.

  5. At least my long lasting broken foot trouble didn't come with medical bills... It pains my heart each time when I see how in the US physical suffering goes hand-in-hand with financial suffering!

    The double hit of no income and huge bills :( :( :( I'll be spreading your Fundraiser for sure, on Facebook and Twitter.

  9. I'm so sorry to hear about your injury! Blessed Be. No link yet, although I'll work on one because this is one of "my" topics, but here's a bit of a throw away from the archives, on prompt:

    On the good days
    I’m only sad
    and I can force a grin
    But on the bad
    days the screams come out
    and I have to stay in.

  12. An apology. I am not a poet, so I had no idea what a shape poem was,and I never even noticed that these were to be different types of poems each day. So please forgive my haiku.

    1. There's nothing to forgive. The prompts are there for inspiration if we need it, but different poems (both in content or form) are 100% as welcome as the prompted ones. We're just glad to be in this together, to be inspired and supported. The muse has free reign!

  13. My entry today is again for poet Reuben Woolley, who's had a liver transplant. Once upon a time there was a NaPoWriMo or #OctPoWrimo to record yourselfd reading on of your own poems. That was a HUGE stretch for me, but I'm glad I did it back then. Today, I did that again. Writing a poem especially for Reuben was too difficult.

  15. I am a bit late today but it's, at least, today and not tomorrow yet. I'm still here . Not many more days to go - is it 10 -- eek, sounds a lot. I'll carry on if I can.

  22. Today's prompt took an entire day of reflection and brought me to my favorite artist -- Vincent Van Gogh.
