Elizabeth Kinch Poet Free verse

Worry

Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply. 
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death.

Daniel Turner July 2, 2017 at 2:22 PM I think peace comes with age because you learn worrying only adds to the problem. Nice write, Elizabeth:) Elizabeth Kinch July 2, 2017 at 2:52 PM I wish my mother in law would realise this, she's old enough to know better!

White Wolf July 2, 2017 at 8:07 AM I like your description here! In reality, there really is no point in worrying! Easier said than done though! Nicely done Elizabeth Kinch July 2, 2017 at 8:53 AM Worrying certainly is a waste of time and effort. It's training yourself to be positive.

Roy Pett July 2, 2017 at 7:26 AM Worrying is an awful emotion Elizabeth, even at my age I still have to tell myself to stop worrying and just get on with life, well written, :) Elizabeth Kinch July 2, 2017 at 7:32 AM I really try not to worry. I'm sure my mother in law will take herself to an early grave, she worries if she has nothing to worry about!
