Ronovan has created for us the Ovi Poetry Challenge 51:
our inspiration is the word ‘steps’. Here is my ovi.
as seen at Poetics at dVerse
No time for speculation
Just truthful examination
To reach an evaluation
Which step I will take next
At times my body fails me
I’m an old and twisted tree
And my eyes can plainly see
Limitations in my way
Scans with the neurologist
Jabs from my orthopedist
Prescriptions at the pharmacist
One damn step at a time
When I look inside myself
I see I’m sitting on a shelf
I may need a little help
Sometimes the climb is steep
Keep up with the marching band
Reaching for an outstretched hand
To gently lift me when I land
Stumbling at the bottom step
