Well written acrostic, one which I can definitely identify with, have been going through therapy, (which was a temporary fix), now the doctor is talking acupuncture, which might have worked..but as I have a pacemaker, there was fear it might be interfered with should I go down that path..as your poem so clearly states, the pain on certain days seems endless....I sympathize, I know of what you speak....thanks for sharing....
Warmly,
Victoria

Thank you to Victoria for your walk upon this journey. Thanks for sharing your pain. May knowing you don't suffer alone help in some small way.
Indeed it does, I often find that as you meet, and greet people, you may never know the pain one may be suffering...
I have a furrowed brow, that keeps getting worse, but life does go on..
All the Best

Aloha Treishel,
You described the pain very well and in an acrostic poem. The photo with the blue color makes me think of cold pain.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Sararb
So sorry for your wife's pain and suffering. You did a great job describing it in this acrostic poem. These are very hard poems to write, and are very much a challenge, but you did a great job with yours. God Bless your wife, and I do hope that she gets some relief from all that pain. Sararb

Thank you so much Sara for thoughts and kind words. The six stars is a very nice added bonus.
Comment from twinklepoems
While I thought this was very cleverly done, I am concerned that so far most of the work of yours I have read is negative and complaining. I understand every piece does not have to rainbows and sunshine but most of us don't seek out resources that will make us feel depressed. Maybe you can put your poetic expertise towards a positive poem or two.

I take your point, but in the last three days I wrote Love, Grandson and I, and Sharing Time. In the last week I've written Ruddy Duck, the Music Shows, Cedar Waxwing, Heating up, and Top Down Day.You must have missed them..

Another good write. I do so hope she is better and finds some form of relief.
Your verse shares you concern, love and suffering that you both share
due to her ailment. My prayers are with you both. Smiles. Robin :)

Comment from NHazelwood
I am all too familiar with back pain so I can relate to and more so feel the sentiment expressed in your poem! It's truly awful how back pain can rule one's life and it seems like the treatments can be almost as bad as the pain!
Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Gungalo
Below the lumbar plexus,
Above the lower hip,
Chronic aching nerve ends
Kills thoughts of pleasure trips.
Pain within the body,
Aches along the spine,
Increases tense depression,
No matter what you try.
An acrostic write like this one will serve as an educational tool for some who suffer as she does Tom. It's so dibilitating.
