Thank you for this, Charlotte. I hope all goes well with your ugly thing. I’m also going to read the poem I just wrote backwards. Always love your wisdom, thoughts and feels.
Sending well wishes, the band-aids 😱 irritated my skin something fierce following a similar issue, hope you have a more soothing bandage. Love the backward reading - it’s similar to a strategy I use when revising more playful work.
Yes, I have the adhesive irritation problem, too. Ugh. I had never thought of reading backwards but it really is a good tool! I'm impressed you already do it. Thanks for reading/commenting. Always a pleasure to hear from you! XO
What a wonderful post, Charlotte, one that comes for me personally at the perfect time. I wish you well on your “ugly thing.” I had one, too (years ago). Be gone, I say, be gone! And these poems — I shall check them out! Have a great day (and don’t worry), Deb
Fingers crossed that whatever they took off your leg is of no consequence, aside from the inconvenience of a post-op protocol. Thank you for sharing the poems. I read in full Frying Fish While Drunk and, yep, that last line!
Charlotte, these poem lines are so inspirational. Yes, it's a miracle we were born at all. Sorry about your medical issue XOXO, be sure and follow the protocols they gave you.

Gina, I appreciate you! The ugly thing is less ugly with each day. I have faith it will all work out fine. Big hugs!
