Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Hospital Visit

tic toc
the ticking 
of the clock

steel blue
resounding
thru and thru

roll call
the long walk
down the hall

white coats
dispensing
antidotes

Gershon Wolf April 28, 2019 at 8:40 PM The Best Kind of Hospital Visit! -- As short as possible. Nicely framed. :) gw Line Gauthier April 28, 2019 at 9:21 PM In-and-out as seldom as possible for sure.

Frederic Parker April 28, 2019 at 5:56 PM each stanza painted another layer to your poem and left a visual of unease...well done Line Gauthier April 28, 2019 at 6:25 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Frederic.

Panagiota Romios April 28, 2019 at 5:37 PM Line, I stay far away from them. I do not line visiting. For one, a hospital carries the most potent germs available. Being a patient is far worse. I speak for me. A good book is "Death by Medicine". Well done, Line PR Line Gauthier April 28, 2019 at 6:26 PM I hear ya, Panagiota.
