Rivers of Pain

Shivers of pain trigger my pen To write and write Till I forget this yen To cry aloud Slivers of pain snig ger at me To fight and fight Till I forget to see The dark grey cloud Rivers of pain slicker than rain They smite and smite Till I see red in my brain No tears allowed Quivers of pain flicker through me They bite and bite Till I see black in the sea In anguish bowed 10th May 2023 (No one should get ear pain, ever)

Sounds like an intense pain, but inspirational. I enjoyed the poem.

I think you were talking on an existential plane. Not about ordinary pain.. Which we all like to make a big thing of. That and death. As if death and pain made a difference. They just are. We all have pain. Especially if older Watch the blogs, see what I mean. Are they ever about life living or inspiration? No. Let the dead go. We Carry around corpses here like they wereGandhi or Shakespeare.. Watch the posts closings, Stay well..as if sickness was waiting to do me in. Not true, ugh. Anyway, wonderful poem. Should be a site called Pain Soup! Nobody care anyway Pangie,

Also nobody should get pain anywhere. there are many types and I have had some of the most unusual ones of all but I agree with you, the ear pain is a real bummer!!

Great poem. I have suffered much from toothache that fled to my ear.
