Joanna Daniel Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Your Heartbeat Slow

Listen to your heartbeat slow,
Listen to its ho-hum beats,
Slowly as the pain retreats,
Listen to its thrumming low;

Wake up to the pain within,
Wake up to its panic call,
Gently as the ache does crawl,
Wake up to darkness therein;

Look out for your frail heart's cry 
Look out for the symptoms, yes,
Well before the pain rises,
Look out for med help that's nigh.

Pandita Sietesantos October 4, 2018 at 7:57 AM Dear Jo, congratulations on your win with this sublime poem! The heart both literally and figuratively speaking can be powerful and at the same time a delicate organ that we often take for granted - until we feel the pain. Just a beautiful piece. Hugs and love. Pandita

Connie Marcum Wong September 18, 2018 at 12:43 PM This really hits home for me Jo. My husband is dealing with a heart problem. You have defined that concern well in your wonderful poem Jo. : )

Chris Green September 18, 2018 at 10:37 AM This poem definitely makes one think. It has a beat all its own and a touch of worry and sadness if I read this correctly. Either way it is still really nicely done my friend. Much luck in the contest.
