All will work out eventually 🙂 hope all’s well with you, k. 🙂

Oh I love the pen as a life-raft… very good.

Flotation device might be better! Something to get one’s arms around–but kind of long! k.

“(pen)as a life raft” is a really cool phrase. Well-penned.
Hope headache is not troubling you anymore. 🙂

Thank you–unfortunately, it seems a little bit of a problem in the dryness of the cold where I am! Appreciate your kind comments.

ha. holding the pen as a life raft….nice
the first one made me think of the drunk spins….(which i have not had in a very long time)…thank goodness

Oh, I love that second one!

i only had a headache like this once when i was about 16 and drank way too much… i never went there again…oy…that was a very healthy lesson… smiles on the life raft way to hold a pen..

Both of these really hit the core. I’m not prone to headaches but from what I have experienced this is easy to relate to. And the one one writing…well…we can all relate to that.

I can relate to your headache poem-I have frequent migraines! Your second is creativity at its essence!
January 16, 2015 at 2:05 pm
I rarely ever have headaches so I’m glad I can’t relate to the 1st poem… smiles… The 2nd… writing is my life… I certainly hold my pen the way I hold the one who gave me life

Genius on the second tenWord..k
January 16, 2015 at 3:04 pm
I think many of us can relate to that second one for sure!
January 16, 2015 at 5:29 pm
Oh yes, I have often used that life raft!
January 16, 2015 at 6:43 pm
I know how the elephant feels I had a migraine come on today.
January 16, 2015 at 11:57 pm
Ha! Love these! Sorry about the migraine, but oh YES to the pen! Thank you (and thanks for your very kind comments earlier; please don’t ever apologize for critique. I need it. Desperately.).

Nice little dip into the deeper-than-it-looks pool of this form, k. First one is one of the best descriptions of a headache I’ve heard.
