Nurse Anne

Nurse Anne Snow steeped in mountains and mountains steeped in snow Evergreens and pine trees hold the earth with purpose Nurse Anne steps into hospital from brutal winter cold Measures stethoscopes and takes gentle pulses Takes care of bullet wounds and children on her rounds Wears white, green or blue uniforms or gowns while working That’s pure speculation as you know Nurse Anne is not a lawyer according to close sources She writes poetry on line, refines them in her leisure time Her prescription for good health and life is simple Eat vegetables, fishes and less meat Most importantly, Breath, (it helps a lot) Take moderation in everything Get plenty of rest and sleep And if you can’t be intelligent or stay on your toes At least stay on your feet Naturally a life spent vertically is not advised Nurse Anne wants us all to exercise She will help you to get by and back to skiing With her good guidance and by being wise She does her noble work then travels home Returns to evening To writing poems at her own leisure

Hi Anne Lise, Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I was setting the stage about your country in winter, then I was speculating on other areas, like people living there that you nurse back to health, like skiers. It is just a simple poem about a gifted poet/nurse called Anne Lise. Have a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
