Line Gauthier Poet Couplet

Taste of Anguish

At the Las Vegas hospital’s emergency ward
In the midnight hour he could not be ignored

Such gut wrenching seeping deep gaping pain
Howling wailing haunting screams for novocaine

Rattling quivering from the corner to the sounds of strife
Shattering confidence I may have had in the lottery of life

Gershon Wolf February 19, 2019 at 2:42 PM Consider the emotion reflected -- and injected!! Nicely done, my poetic friend... Interesting reaction from an avid reader of yours (me): What you wrote about confirms my faith THAT life is, indeed, a lottery! :) :) This is a winner, at least, in my estimation. ~ Gershon Line Gauthier February 19, 2019 at 3:05 PM Thanks, Gershon. I value your opinion. Line xx

Jack Horne February 15, 2019 at 3:06 PM boy, a very scary scene you describe so vividly there Line Gauthier February 15, 2019 at 5:20 PM Horrific is a good word. I had no intention of asking for details. I'm not equipped for that level of grief.

Caren Krutsinger February 15, 2019 at 12:20 PM Perfect. Line Gauthier February 15, 2019 at 1:19 PM It wasn't so perfect that night I'll tell you. Chilling to the bone.
