Right As Rain

I’m feeling right as rain again,
Without those nasty kidney stones.
It’s nice to be without the pain.
I’m feeling right as rain again.
Those things were driving me insane.
Now no more crying, groans or moans.
I’m feeling right as rain again,
Without those nasty kidney stones.

*A colleague was in agony with his kidney stones, not me : )

now this is my type of poem! I was looking for some forms of poetry which the style and mine might blend. Triolet came to my sights, and led me back to you my friend. ha!---What form is that? I am no poet...but I am trying to learn all these forms. When I write, it's more like a, well, how do I say this...a #2. I get it all out. I try not to look at it afterward either. BUT, now I have been going back to check and see if I've Shat any good forms.-I hope we are still friends after this vulgarity!

thanks for introducing me to the triolet. I am not yet familiar with all the forms, and wonder if i'll ever be! so many to choose from! I think you captured the pain well in this poem. As as far as contests go, you know what you like. Think of an interesting contest, then pick the best ones for winners, and don't worry about the people who don't win. There will be other contests for them and maybe, like me, it will motivate them to try harder!

Great Triolet Jack! I wished I could comment more or post more poems but my right arm and hand are still prevent me from writing. Still painful and also my left shoulder. But thank you so much my friend for your kind comments and mails!!!A friend of mine also suffered from kidney stones which must be hell of pain. Love, Gert and have a great week ahead!

I had them a few years back Jack, very painful indeed. I still have a small one in my left kidney, I hope it stay put, and stays small. I appreciate what he has gone through. Many thanks for your always kind words :)

Definitely you have got to try a kyrielle! It was a delight to find out from your blog you are a fan of forms like the sonnet!

Your "wigwag" comment cracked me up, Jack. Wigwam is a common term here, but I've never heard "wigwag" used before. Keep those glasses on. LOL I heard from Gert and sent you a blind copy of his email. He's still in pain, but is waiting for test results from an MRT. He'll be in my prayers until he gets the results and hopefully some good news June 20. Love, Carolyn

Jack, neat write..I am glad that it was not you but feel for the friend..My husband had a bout with them in the past year and it was not pleasant company for him..I hope that your area did not sustain very much damage from the hail..We have limbs and leaves down all over the place but nothing drastic..Thanks for the kind review..Sara

LOL Jack, it wasn't Robin who was haunting Sherwood Forest. People told him he could hide there because his enemies would not enter. They thought the forest was haunted. Thanks for your comments. Yes, that co-write with James on "Goodbye, Good Ridance" is still one of my favorite poems. We released some angst and came up with quite a funny poem. Love, Carolyn

LOL Now that's a novel approach to the "stones" contest, Jack. From what I've heard, Kidney stones are very painful. I've never tried a triolet before, but this one is super. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn

BRAVO, is this your first triolet?? I am proud of you if it is becuase you did AWESOME with it. Don't you just love them? they are the cutest way to just speak to one moment! And I hope I feel as happy as you do about your kidney stone removal when I go and get my shoulder operated on end of June!
