Notes About The Poem

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

--Winston Churchill

Pain on Repeat


inflamed tendon in tight confinement
compassionately curses
the teacup’s trigger burn

Kim, I hope this is not a pain you have. The pains like this are so annoying indeed, and I am speaking from experience!

Well that rules you out Kim as a suspect in my massaging the figures post lol! I hope that tendon settles down in your hand, the quote is a little bit suspect, I would’ve put optimism, instead of success, but I’m no Churchill! Nice Kimo Kim, cheers David

Didn't understand it first. I'm only a man very clever. My favourite quote of Churchill is, '' Pigs are lovely animals. Dogs look up to you, Cats look down, but Pigs, accept you as their own. Pete.

Oh, I thought something else about this poem. I'm sorry you have arthritis. Have you ever had a toothache? LOL....anyways, it's not fun for you, I'm sure. Hope you find some good pain medication. Hugs, just me!

Ouch! that hurts just reading about it, Kim. A hard injury to get over because it takes a lot of patience and a lot of time, my friend. Nice Kimo! Hope it gets better soon if a real injury. Blessings, Bill

I hear you...arthritis in my hands, when I forget to do my daily exercises a simple thing like opening a jar or picking up a teacup is very painful.
