this is a powerful one, jan, that has personal connotations for me...slightly choppy, but that's okay because it's in keeping with the subject matter - it pairs very well with alexis y's one - well done, and congrats on your win in my contest!

Jan, when I came back for second read, I see why Charlotte said your poem and mine's pairs well together! Congratulations again on your win:-) Alexis

Thanks Charlotte - I have to go with my muse and I never know what will appear:-( I appreciate its a tricky subject for some people but it is an issue that needs to be out in the open and I that there is a positive message in my poem too:-) hugs Jan xx

Wow! Jan..... Just WOW!!...

Jan Allison
Date: 10/15/2015 2:12:00 PM

Thanks Arlene it was actually quite a challenge using one syllable and getting the poem to make sense:-) hugs Jan xx

Yeap I've been there.

Jan Allison

Whoa...powerful fiction write on etheree with acrostic to boot! You're good at these, Jan. 7. All the best with that contest! hugs!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/14/2015 7:03:00 AM

Its actually quite a challenge Kim each word has to be one syllable and be an acrostic - i got it totally wrong to start off with and had to do a rewrite:-( hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich

Date: 10/13/2015 4:01:00 PM

I really like yours, Jan. It has a good flow the way you put the words together. So many people are doing this challenge wrong. Maybe some of them have now realized and tried to use only one syllable words. I told several people they needed to do that!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/13/2015 4:08:00 PM

I did it wrong to start with it's actually far more difficult than I imagined:-) hugs Jan xx

Well expressed! You made it work and it's not easy to do.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 9:21:00 AM

It is a challenging form Richard:-) hugs jan xx

Yogi (god rest his soul) said it ain't over till it's over. In this case, it's over and we applaud because it is! I wish you the best days ever.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/15/2015 2:11:00 PM

I'm a great deal better now thanks Duke the pain is much reduced and I cna lead a normalish life if I don't over do it - i know my limitations lol - physio has helped a great deal the stretching exercises r and I returned to work on Tuesday - got an appointment with specialist in November hope they can get to the root of the issues:-) hugs Jan xx

Duke Beaufort

Do you have it in one leg or two. Mine started in the right leg. Then, just as that was going away, the left started. It took months, but the pain gradually subsided. So I have some idea of how you were feeling. It's unpleasant and constant. The great things in store for us as we age!!

Duke Beaufort
Date: 10/12/2015 11:46:00 AM

Jan, my advice is to do a lot of gentle stretching and to try to move around as much as possible. Long days at a desk are not a good thing. Good luck!!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 9:20:00 AM

its been 3 weeks now am waiting to see specialist and have an MRI but today i feel so so well and almost back to normal... well as normal as I usually am lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Duke Beaufort
Date: 10/12/2015 9:17:00 AM

Ouch--very painful!! Glad you are feeling better. It takes a long time for the aching to go away. Have a great week.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 9:03:00 AM

I'm feeling SO much better today Duke I am hoping to return to work tomorrow - being laid up with sciatica has been dreadful but I'm finally on the mend:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 9:01:00 AM

I got it all wrong to start with and had to re write my original poem its actually a harder challenge than meets the eye:-) hugs Jan xx

Loved the poem, let me at a lad who acts as that and well I better not say what I would do!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 3:28:00 AM

Works both ways Arthur I used to work with a woman who used to beat her hubby and she was proud to boast about it - I was only 14 or 15 at the time and hit always stayed with me:-( hugs Jan xx

Michael Tor

Jan sad and touching write. You did this perfectly. Good luck.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/12/2015 3:26:00 AM

Thanks Michael its actually quite challenging using just one syllable:-) hugs Jan xx

ouch! Very effective wording, Jan. You truly deliver your own punch ... CayCay

Jan Allison
Date: 10/11/2015 6:58:00 PM

I had to rewrite this as i hadn't read the rules properly about each word having just one syllable - it actually quite a challenging form:-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith

Date: 10/11/2015 6:18:00 PM

Well done Jan. I was trying one last night but it just didn't seem right so I trashed it. Good Luck in the contest.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/11/2015 6:32:00 PM

It's actually quite a challenge to make sense with one syllable words - I started it then read someone's poem and discovered I'd got the syllables incorrect so I rewrote it:-) Hugs jan xx

Thanks Alexis I found I had done it all wrong so had to go for a re-write :-) just hope Charlotte likes it now:-) hugs Jan xx
