You've written an excellent 3-5-7 poem and entry for the contest.
Yes, pills barely last a day, if that.
Intriguing art work to match your words
Nicely done
Good luck in the contest
RS
PS Your font barely shows up, maybe use yellow or red

    Thanks for reviewing and your great comments and suggestions, I have gone in twice to change it to red but it is just not taking.

Your pain is our gain today. Your simple verse spells out one alternative. (BTW ... I am not in favor of the abuse or over use of those pills.)

Your red lettering is perfectly matched with your selected illustration and text. I would consider raising the font size a bit to give some FS members an opportunity to read/see your words in a new light.

Best wishes in your entry.

Pills usually just mask the problem...pain is a symptom of an underlying cause...nsaids can ruin joints long term,,,,and are hard on the liver... I try to avoid all pain meds especially opioids
God bless

Hi Contest Author,

Great graphic you've chosen to complement you verse. It is certainly quite effective in helping to convey a sense of a painful condition. Your verse conforms to the contest requirements and is well written. But, I would caution about pain pills... I worked for some years as an addiction counselor for those dependent upon opioids. Of the many hundreds of people I provided service to, only a couple were hooked from recreational drugs: the others became addicted by taking prescription pain pills. (Sorry, I don't mean to be preachy, but it's a scary topic and one that I have first-hand knowledge of from the professional side.) Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest. Jan

Dear Mystery Writer,

I hate to think of anyone hurting, but this is simply FACT. Some of us have painful issues we have to deal with and must use some kind of medication to help us along. I know my Celebrex makes life livable! hahaha

Thanks and good luck!
