When medical news shocks us, we play it over and over again on our minds, even if we know we should not focus our thoughts on them. The crisis is too urgent.

Every day, scores of people receive shattering news from doctors, news that will run circles in their minds--longer for some than for others. You have used an excellent simile to convey your message.

Our thoughts create our reality. So, we must live intuitively and follow our own hearts. We have the power to shift our current reality. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marival, I think you've done very well with this fifteen words challenge. It's not easy to write something meaningful in so few words, but you have achieved that. Her bad news from the doctor won't leave her be. Ulla:)))

The image of a broken lp is hard for me to see. I love album music and if I could afford the price I would buy all sorts of albums of music that I love to listen to. The poem that you wrote uses the analogy of a broken record to speak of bad health records playing over and over again in one's mind. This is a very clever and good use of metaphor to express what you are putting forth in this new style of poetry.
Thanks for letting me share.
Jesse

How very clever - the play on meanings of words between a vinyl record - which of course is played over and over, with a health record which if bad, certainly continues to go round and round in one's mind. No sixes left unfortunately.

Yes. I have heard this expression so often that it's almost a cliché but I like your story. I think you give it a new meaning. I wrote two 15 words poems.

Thanks for the challenge.

Well done.

Oh my! I truly loved the picture of the broken record but then your words implied the pending doom. It was interesting that you compared the broken record to the broken health records, this was indeed rather creative. Blessed be and hugs!
