David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Paralysing Venom

My hands have gone rigid, feel like lead
       Ok! I’ll type with my feet instead 
    Now they don’t work, just went numb
    Ok! I’ll press buttons, with my tongue 
   Can you imagine, things being so hard 
Bitten by snakes, yet unemotionally scarred

Judy Ball June 4, 2021 at 8:52 AM Ooohoohoohoo! Quite the write despite. Snake bite is not the way to go. Too wrapped up in finishing the poetry to go to the doctor. We'll miss you my friend. God Bless, JB David Kavanagh June 4, 2021 at 9:06 AM Heya Judy, lol, yeah you can’t keep the determined ones down, I see them day in day out here on the soup, regardless of all their ailments and differences, one common ground is the compulsion to write, it really is uplifting to see the power of the poet’s imagination overcoming all, cheers David
