Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

Slowing My Passage

Sat in a car to get my shot.
Doc says it ought
to minimize
pending demise.

Knee joints are aging, sorely fast
They will not last
another spring 
nor highland fling.

My go for the gusto is spent
my frame is bent.
COVID vaccine
one more routine.

Kim Rodrigues July 28, 2021 at 5:30 AM I’m going for physical therapy for my knee! Mild degenerative arthritis…mild (are you kidding me!) Congratulations! Reason A. Poteet August 6, 2021 at 6:52 PM I wish you well. Have done therapy at home for 7 months now and my knees have improved; but my right one is still weak climbing steps and putting all my weight on it. thanks for the interaction, kim.

Joseph May July 26, 2021 at 10:29 AM Very nicely penned Reason, Congrats on your win Reason A. Poteet July 26, 2021 at 6:10 PM thank you, Joseph, it was a fun write with a message some may miss. We all have to die of something, sooner or later; unless we are raptured off this earth. At this age, I'm leaning towards the sooner.

Poteet July 26, 2021 at 6:14 PM Thanks, Alexis, I'll return the blessing of a wonderful day for you tomorrow, and by the way, a pleasant rest of this evening.
