Best Arthritis Poems

DURING MY WORLDLY TRAVELS, I MET ARTHUR ITIS. 
   TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH HE WASN'T THE BRIGHTEST. 
   HIS GOAL IN LIFE IS DISTRIBUTING PAIN. 
   HE LOVES TO ACT UP DURING WINTER AND RAIN,

   I...

arms
and
ankles -
Accepting
affliction

For all who suffer Arthritic pain
they know when it’s going to rain
aches in joints, won’t go away
just got to get through another day

We all have it to some degree
I know you feel it more than me
I try to support you...

My will
    stronger 
    than my body

I am
    stubborn
    to the bone...

Autumn sneaks early into September
With cloudy days and cooler temp,
A feeling of fall in the morning air
Arthritis is back, causing me to limp.
Thank goodness for dear ol’ Ben Gay
With his sweet smell of peppermint,
He helps me make it through the day
By applying his soothing, minty...

You arise slow as fingers aching,

   and soon an entire hand is shaking.

      Then, bandit the feeling in toes taking,

        hijacking feet so each step is hard making.

Paralyzed in a tranquil trance,
She stared at the white blank page, terrified,
visualizing a perfect storm, robust and rugged
Then her metacarpals mobilized, resulting
in  a mortified tableau of a raging wave, 
her pawn trapped, 
she sculpted that death defying
dance, 
perfection, 
marred by a sadistic smile,,,

Arthritis in my finger
Arthritis in my toe
All day long 
Wherever I do go

Aches and pains
With every step or poke
Taking my energy
Aging is not a joke

Arthritis in my wrist
Arthritis in my knee
I wish I had been as careful
As others seemed to be...

ARTHRITIS

Does arthritis sap your will...
The pain of it you need your pill...
Rub peanut oil to fix this ill...
For rheumatiz also instill...
Get it at the supermarket you will...
 Sights not good you say old friend ...
Slow roll your head around the shoulders bend (gently)...
Move your head...

Wrinkled forehead creases as he looks at me
From the burgundy sofa where he lives most days
Free of things like water bills and car payments
He lies down to eat and drag slowly on a cigarette

The smoke fills the breathing space up again
And I wish he could...

There is nothing to gain
From all this pain
I wish it would rain
Healing snowflakes on me
Then I would shout with glee
I'm free! Free to dance on the floor
Everyone will smile galore
And say, "What grace and energy she has!"
Then all the pain will be in my past......

I once knew a man named Youth.
He lived nearby.
He had friends named Hope and Faith.
They lived nearby too.
The youth moved away.
Hope and Faith soon followed him.
They all moved to a town called Past.
I cannot find it. It is not on the map. It is gone.
My...
