Slam/Free Verse/For Pd

Talking 'bout surgery Making my skin crawl muscle spasms, pain and more pain Who's talking 'bout surgery? Read all you can and make the right choice Believe me it gets worse before it gets better Talking 'bout surgery Muscle spasms, stiff neck and pain The surgeon is smiling all the way to the bank I'm crying and wishing I was dying Looks like I have been in a street fight Talking 'bout surgery! Wake vomiting and bruises --where? How did that?? Happen? I.V. line beeped all night How's a patient to get some sleep? Talking 'bout surgery!! I would like to thank everone for their prayers and well wishes on my neck surgery, I am getting alittle stronger every day!! Praise Jesus!!

Sorry Doris to hear all this is going on with you. Your poem brought it all into reality for the viewers. Neck pain can be one of the most annoying and persistent pains known to humans. I will continue prayer for you. Thanks for your comment today, they are important to me. Agape, Moses

Great write..There is much that we don't know until we get there..If one has had surgery before they know that it is not a piece a cake..Great write with warning..Mom
