Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

October Clause

It's only October but I'm in despair
So I'm writing to old St Nick
My feet are up no care for my hair
In bedroom feeling quite sea sick

I know I'm very blessed today
Even if it's normal pink pain
Years roll on like a test of faith
I STILL bleed like I'm cutting vein.

I have to ask dear Santa Clause
To deliver me one thing early
Take me into menopause
I will showcase a smile so pearly.

No more super bad headaches
No more needs for tampon, pad
No more favorite things ruined, great
No more making him a dad.

Kim Rodrigues October 13, 2023 at 6:02 AM Wow! Unique and I love it! Raw in detail, too! Faving! Karen Jones October 13, 2023 at 8:21 AM I'm honored you fav it Kim. Thanks for reading.

Sam Scott October 13, 2023 at 4:50 AM Dear Karen - please don't ever feel your 'silly trials' are not of value to us on here (ref your reply below x).. poetry is fantasy some of the time, but reality too is important. I (and am sure we..) respect your honesty and vulnerability in sharing and wish you October-blessing :) Karen Jones October 13, 2023 at 8:21 AM What a big heart you have Sam. Thank you. I do feel like that in comparison though. But point taken. Perhaps I am not alone. Hugs and blessings.

Janice Canerdy October 12, 2023 at 6:10 AM Karen, your poem about what's REAL for you right now is descriptive and realistic. I went through that twenty years ago. I'm 71 now. Karen Jones October 12, 2023 at 6:57 AM Hugs Janice. My mom is 74 and she said basically it's just "growing pains" and a part of ageing. So I guess I need to buckle up buttercup. Lol

Victor Buhagiar October 12, 2023 at 2:13 AM Dear Karen, my heart bleeds when I read you're in pain. And I'm afraid menopause brings other problems too. Be strong and consult your specialist (not that I have much faith in them. They have not cured me yet.) Hugs and blessings. Karen Jones October 12, 2023 at 2:22 AM Hugs Victor. You need a cure? I was unaware beloved. Hoping praying you get one soon for whatever ails you. I think the nausea is more of a nuisance for me and the fever than the pain. It shall pass. I write too much about my silly trials when bigger issues such as war or cancer are on other's life pages. Praying for you. Blessings and heart felt hugs

Bj Legros Kelley October 11, 2023 at 10:19 PM This too shall pass. I guess there are some good things in getting old, and that is one of them for sure. Karen Jones October 12, 2023 at 12:12 AM I look forward BJ! Hugs

Gershon Wolf October 11, 2023 at 8:05 PM I hear Old Nicholas is open to early deliveries this year, as the workload is going to be lighter, what with all the fertility rate dropping drastically over half of the world... Fewer deliveries on X-mas Day... Karen Jones October 12, 2023 at 12:11 AM Lol. Gershon thanks for a much needed giggle.

The Situation October 11, 2023 at 6:34 PM Uniquely...... At this age I know how you feel. Karen Jones October 11, 2023 at 6:43 PM Hugs The Situation, it is nice to be understood.
