Yann Rolland Poet Free verse

blood test

A blood test is never pleasant, 
You have to be fasting, drink only water,
Move to the laboratory early in the morning
Say hello to unknown nurses,

It is necessary to endure an injection in the arm, 
Watch your blood gush like a river
To fill, one, two or three test tubes,
Some sick people pass out,

But the hardest part starts when you leave,
We must wait for the results, good or bad,
So better not to think about it too much,
Go to the cinema to see a good movie.
A blood test is a headache.

Krishika Upadhyay September 5, 2025 at 9:52 PM Plain and relatable, this poem captures the small dread of a blood test, from fasting to waiting for results, yet softens it with a simple remedy distraction and life’s little comforts.

Sotto Poet September 5, 2025 at 12:48 PM You've captured this thought with great clarity, Yann! I wish for your results to arrive swiftly, bearing the results of your hopes. Yann Rolland September 9, 2025 at 9:58 AM thanks poet, i will know tomorrow, i am a little scared wishes

Joseph P. DiMino September 5, 2025 at 5:46 AM Good advice. I often hope for a pretty nurse. I find it helps. I hate making an appointment...and then still having to sit in the office for an hour before being seen. Just medical numbers.

Victor Buhagiar September 4, 2025 at 8:48 AM Hi Yann, I lost count on the number of blood tests I had to undergo. By next year I already have a notice of one. Yann Rolland September 4, 2025 at 3:39 PM wish you some courage dear Victor, i know diabetes too, every three months , bla bla bla enjoyed your comment

Andrea Dietrich September 3, 2025 at 1:21 PM Gosh all my blood tests are fairly simple and fast. What I really hate are these epidural injections in the hip that I have been getting. Talk about painful. Yikes! Andrea Dietrich September 6, 2025 at 6:58 PM Do they know what could be wrong with you Yann Rolland September 4, 2025 at 3:37 PM dear andrea, i went laboratory at seven this morning, would you believe me ? They full heights tubes of my precious blood, i am pretty scared now , thanks for the great comment

I Am Anaya September 3, 2025 at 9:04 AM Yann how much-needed these blood takers are. A good gothic romance will take your mind away from it all! Good read Yann Rolland September 4, 2025 at 3:35 PM thanks anaya for the interesting stopping by, i totally agree the message

Ilene Bauer September 2, 2025 at 1:00 PM you've summed this up very well, yann! i hope your results come soon and are what you are hoping for... Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:26 AM i am always scared before, writing help a bit

Kim Rodrigues September 2, 2025 at 9:16 AM …say hello to unknown nurses, those strangers who are invasive… Ô ciel miséricordieux! I actually watch them take my blood…under my studious eyes I would catch a mistake! Always, we hope for the best. Oui! Keep your mind off the waiting for results. Hope everything is okay, mon amie! Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:28 AM i think i won't read results by mail, will let doctor do their job, wonderful and warm comment to soothe my health a bit have a nice day

Sara Kendrick September 2, 2025 at 4:15 AM Yann, especially if you have not been feeling well and are concerned about an out-of-range result. However, I think most of the time those tests don't catch anything until a person is in really bad shape physically. Don't worry about it just go on about your daily affairs and all will come out okay. Thanks for sharing this hope it is a friend or someone else and not you. Or a memory form the past. Sara K Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:32 AM it is my next concern dear sara, tomorrow i will do the test, thanks for caring, it is so precious when you have diabete, will not read the mail, for some days take care

Mystic Rose Rose September 2, 2025 at 3:55 AM Yes a blood test can be very stressful and the result can be good or bad still it can save a life, thanks for sharing this Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:34 AM thanks Rose for the sweet message wishes

Anne-Lise Andresen September 2, 2025 at 1:26 AM - Wait for the answer.... a time to ponder... is all well and good ? - Good luck, Yann :) - hugs Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:35 AM thanks anne lise, wait and see

Valsa George September 1, 2025 at 10:02 PM This is exactly what happens if we go for a blood test. When blood is pumped into syringes, we feel that the nurses are draining out our whole blood. So, better avoid unnecessary routine blood tests. Your advice is seriously taken into consideration, Yaan. An enjoyable read. Yann Rolland September 3, 2025 at 12:36 AM tanks valsa, for the wonderful comment, will care about very soon wishes
