Lee Locklair Poet I do not know?

My Best Friend

My Best Friend:
I have treated this body so poorly..yet still it fights for me.
Reminding me when to eat..when to sleep..when to drink.
It gives me pain when it is time to reflect on the cause.
It gives me the opportunity to change, over and over again.
It rewards me with movement so that I may see new things.
It executes my unearned gift to create an artistic impression.
It informs me that anger hurts by the knotted pain in my stomach.
It gives me compassion in my heart and is shown by the tears I shed.
I am lucky to be blessed with this body.
And I hope it continues it's faithful knowledge.
Casting it my way.

But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like.

Robert Pettit March 21, 2014 at 12:24 AM Welcome to this site. I know you will like it here. This is a very descriptive free verse poem. Just a little suggestion: try not to start too many lines with the same word as you have here with "It". Mix it up with a variety of different words and your work looks better.
