As i was writing
What i was craving
Bad luck came my way
To show me i can't play
With a pen
In my hand

Someone dear paid a price
For my selfishness twice

With a purple cast
It will last
Four weeks
To remind me
How weak
Not to be

Ouch! Some Poet's peril! What did you do?
(Well, at least it's purple.)

two of my children and i were at a restaurant
they were ready to go home
and i kept on writing my silly stuff
they went outside to play

knowing it was not safe
i should be there with them
it only took a few minutes
the little one got hurt

thank the God of mercy
he is doing really good
with his new hard leg
tearing up evrything in sight

I liked your poem but I think you're being too hard on yourself. It could have happened even if you were out there with the kids...

We mother's tend to think we should be all seeing. Of course it was not your fault. If we are to be good mother's we also have to have time for ourselves. Joyce
