poem inspired by my son

martina

HI my son was getting ready for fancy dress and made me think and smile this morning in a strange way and i wanted to share this with you all hope you dont mind very low at moment .
THE SCARECROW UNDERSTOOD ME
Hello to the scarecrow
1 position he stood all day
leaned up against a post
there he was made to stay
unable to bend his arms
his knees or touch his toes
was he in any pain
who cares hes a scarecrow
well i talk to my friend
cause he knows how i feel
not knowing who to talk to
having others afraid of you
i cant touch my toes
or do the things others do
THANKYOU MR SCARECROW FOR FEELING MY PAIN 2

Hi Martina,

We haven't met but wanted to say WELCOME to site.

I too think is such a lovely poem and very symbolic. I feel just like that scarecrow and glad that I have the people on this forum to depend on for support.

Martina, have you posted it in the Young's People's Forum? I think is so nice and a good way of explaining things to the very young and little members of this lovely site.

Hope to see you posting in other forums. Thank you for sharing the poem.

Love and hugs x

HI Martina,

well that is wonderful ... well done!!!

You should maybe think of entering it in the Arthritis Care creative writing competition because this year's theme is 'a letter to my pain' and you seem to be writing just that!

If you go to the 'get involved' tab above and then click on 'online cmmunity' then you should find the info there.

oh and welcome to the forum too!

hugs
