Brandee Augustus Poet Acrostic

The Fall

Suddenly I hit the floor.
Events leading to this can't be explained.
I have been through this before and now my
Zest for life has become contained.
Understanding these "spells" have been hard ---
Really hard since they seem to come from no where
Epilepsy has become my dealt card
So now I have learned to deal with no fear!

Ronald Bingham February 12, 2009 at 12:38 PM Brandee this one strikes home with me. My daughter suffered with Gran Mal seizures for nearly twenty years. September before last they did brain surgery and removed some scar tissue on her brain and she has been seizure free ever since, Praise God. There is hope and help so never give up, our prayers are with you, Ron

October 15, 2008 at 3:05 PM Interesting perspective that gives the reader some insight into what it is like to deal with seizure disorders. Nice use of the acrostic form. I see you haven't been at Poetry Soup long. A belated welcome to you. Best wishes with your writing. Karen
