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 By David Kavanagh

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

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
