National Poetry Day 2

[theyellowhobbit]

Still National Poetry Day.

This is for A, if you're reading, or anyone who knows A, if you want to laugh at his misfortune, or in this case mine.


To the Master of Injury:
A series of haikus.


Fell down the stairs twice
Got hit by a lolipop
My head really hurts

Now it's my left arm
Muscles? Tendons? Bryna's stumped
heat-pack anyone?

I know what it's like
to be the one who gets hurt
so no one else does

Now it is your turn
take the torch of injury
just don't burn yourself.
