HE

Michael Edwards

 

HE

 

He

Starts to run

to escape the pain

and quickens his pace

until with heaving chest

his legs which pound the earth

can go no more

he falls.

    I have that problem when I walk to the car!

    I nearly did not read the poem as it took me a long time to get passed that wonderful artwork Michael - it is brilliant.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Wow - I did much the same as Andy as your amazingly colourful art-work took my breath away- - - - I like the intrigue in your few lines however Mike and maybe a sequel will follow ?

      • Michael Edwards

        Now that's an idea = a sequal maybe

          Seeing that title HE took me straight back to childhood vision of the top shelf HE magazine where we first sniggered and tittered over nudity..... funnily enough one or two pictures within did make us weak at the knees and short of breath too.
          As a sufferer of arthritis in my knees im sympathetic to anyone in the same boat. I remember mum telling me that growing old was all about putting up with aches and pains,,,, she was right.

            Yes the top shelf - and not wrapped in celophane in those days. Don't mention knees - still getting over my total knee replacement. My Dad always used to say 'It's not much fun getting old' and now I hear myself saying it.
