That is some wound! How very cleverly you worked this into a poem for the contest. Reminds me of my open heart surgery scar. All I can say is, ouch! I wish you the best of luck in the contest!

A very well-written Monostich. I would not recommend anyone to start laughing too hard while they are still in stitches after surgery, they may burst open and the stitches tear out.

Irreverent medical situation and illustration - very funny!

9 out of 10 only? LOL

Don't thing your medico needs to be capitalized; 'monostitch' is your choice

Good luck in this contest

This one is so clever that it took me a second to figure it out. Your descriptive line helped out a lot. Once I figured out what was going on with the survey, I actually said "oh, that's good."
It is good. I wish you the best in the contest.

This is so clever. It's glaringly obvious that a 'monosti(t)ch' wouldn't work here. And the staples look like metal. I hope it didn't leave a giant scar although I can't imagine that it didn't.

I liked this read, unknown poet. It's amazing where we can find inspiration sometimes. I bet that did leave a scar. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

They weren't leaving anything to chance there, were they?!

Sometimes the best way to conquer these really short forms of poetry is with humour. Having said that, I don't think I've ever won any contests using that strategy!

Good luck.

    It's actually something I've lived to tell about and bring up as an awareness issue. Thank you for the review. I also get to collect future book writing material at the same time.

Great monostitch and super entry. I think you've got astrong contender here. :-)

Best of luck in the voting.

Nothing here for me suggest you improve upon. The image is perfect.

Thanks for sharing,

I really like how you used the prompt to play on words. On a more serious note, I can see why nine of ten stitches would agree such a technique would not work.

This is a very good monostich poem. I think surgeries are very hard to do and they require careful stitching. I like this poem. It's well written. Good luck in the contest!
