Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Healing

When you’re sick and you are reeling
Since with symptoms you are dealing
There is nothing more appealing
Than a “How you feeling?” note.

For while sickness has been stealing
Hours and days, it’s been revealing
Just who cares; there’s no concealing
Who forgot to cast a vote.

As your body starts its healing
And you’re back to even keeling
All concerned should know you’re feeling
Better ‘cause they called or wrote.

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 21, 2018 at 10:35 AM Nice rhyming and pattern/format of, Ilene. It's always nice to know folks care. I kinda' like to crawl under a rock and stay until I'm feeling better. When I'm feeling better, it is then I can fully appreciate the caring notes and messages. All the best to you. :) ~ Artsie

Maurice Rigoler April 10, 2018 at 11:00 AM I'm just the opposite, Ilene. When I'm under the weather, as they say, leave me alone! I don't need a card or phone call, or email to know my friends are thinking of me and wishing me well. That's just the way I am. / M

Caren Krutsinger April 8, 2018 at 8:57 PM I have a brand new laser printer, and this is the second thing I have printed. I am trying to make a good example of every kind of poem. This is my good example for a rhyming poem, and I am delighted with it. Thank you!
