Long Eds Poems

With nostalgia Mom looks back to the year
A little girl walking to Riverside Park, without fear
Except for the bowery, no homeless on the street
Kids played outside, lots of friends to meet.

A chocolate bar was 5...

As 2022 draw to a close, It is a time to reclaim your ‘FutureNow’.
Our world is reaching out for God, but most in the incorrect way.
In some case politicians are putting the needs of special...

Lifeless were the eyes of infamous Ted Bundy
No remorse, all emotion had been doused
His gaze pierced my soul as I gave testimony
 
He maintained there’d been too much publicity
Four coeds attacked in a sorority house
Lifeless...

As it's the start of EDS Awareness month, this poem seemed appropriate to share

Ehlers-Danlos awareness - but what does it all mean?
A doctors diagnosis too often unseen
So many trips to the doc as the body...

Crumpling Paper
	By J.R.Wren

Caw, Caw, the voice is rusty and the fry will always be true
The crows don’t know a suit, a camera, nor a comma splice
War Machine MSNBC has messy hair and forgot to tie...

A named Mercury plies the air
above his fountain
in the Phipps Conservatory.

Children wet their fingers
in the receiving pool
and stare
up at possibilities
that may enable them
someday
to match the blossoming
in the Amazonian Room.

Co-eds with athletic boys,
muscular Pitts and tall...

'It must be EDS'

When your hip pain takes a dive
And you wake just half alive
When your neck slips out of place
And the pain spills on your face
It must be EDS
Thats put you to the test

When...

An old trail hand came upon a man,
His wagon was stuck in the mud.
He asked the man if he needed a hand,
He said thanks, my name's Delmar Crudd.

Well hello Crudd, I'm Benjamin Fudd,
I'm just your...

'If only they could see real me' 
Wide awake at 2 am
What you doing on Facebook then?
Try to distract from aches and pains
Adrenaline rush through floppy veins
Morning light comes all too soon
Wish could sleep till...

Just because I need to sit down
Don't look at me with frustrated frown
You never know what hides inside
The daily pain I try and hide 
Just because I look ok
Don't assume the pain's at bay

Just because...

I wish you could see the pain inside of my happy smiling face
Like no pain that should be felt these days
In modern human race

‘Migraine at my senses’

 #migraine #chronicmigraines #Chiari #EDS #POTS #chronicpain #poem #poetry #poet #poetsofinstagram  #poems #ehlersdanlossyndrome

Sense early stages 
Background changes
Soon it bangs
Like sharks at cages
Neck so strained
Fight heavy brained
Lights too bright
Fog explained

Smells so sickly
Escalates...

It hard to know
Why i was expelled
From the fundamentals of poetry.

Each day 
Like a loyal monk
i played my flute
With the basket
Over my head.
As the lemmings
Passed
In quadrangles of coe-eds.
For everything i must remember
Something must be forgotten....

I once wrote Op-Eds for a regional daily paper
Until the new publisher thought me too liberal
He preferred to publish a sensational caper
Than alternative views, well-expressed, literal,
God forbid the public be encouraged to think
Or have the...

eds are deadly dangerous
more people die there
no matter young or old
than anywhere
else in the whole wide world
(or so I've been told)
and if it's not too late
someone should legislate
to outlaw
and recall them all
then instead we'll sleep...

Moves as lively as a sloth
Brain fog of a scatty moth
Stretch as long as crooked cat

Race as fast as slowest snail
Pain chews through shortest nail
Wrists as heavy as...
