Mono-rhymed Sestets

A chapter in the book Family

Switch and Stitch

by Treischel



A doctor's skill, a family's prayer,
Together blend in sterile air,
While time is ticking everywhere,
Anticipating top health care
To bring about renewed welfare
And end the patient's pain nightmare.

A scalpel cuts to leg-joint core.
It leaves a scar forevermore.
Although the knee is left so sore,
It's better than it was before,
While bearing weight upon a floor.
Mobility it will restore.

The treatment went without a hitch,
As bone and metal made a switch.
A scar will heal and often itch.
A blessing is the surgeon's stitch
That holds a new-built kneejoint, which
Will "Quality of Life" enrich.






This is Karen's knee, one week after surgery. It looks bad, but it will get better as it heals. I will post a poem and picture later, after it heals. Of course, there will still be a long scar.

This poem consists of three Sestets (six line poems), written in iambic tetrameter with each stanza mono-rhymed.

The photograph was taken by the author himself on Novermer 17, 2015.
