Hip Life (Senryu)

Friend under the knife

Hip Life

Worn done over time

Bones worn and chipped in decline

Movement will bring aches

Drift into sleep now

Hip replacement to end pain

From skilled surgeons hands

Now walk without pain

Skipping and dancing all day

Brighter days ahead

A new life to see

As there's no pain hip to knee

I'm going dancing

A very interesting piece on a subject which I have never seen anyone tackle or turn into poetry. Of course you have been touched by this and it is emotion which spurs us writers on!

[Willard Wells]

Well I was not going to put it on here in the beginning as I was just trying to give a little lift to a friend having this done and he was scared. I appreciate the kind words and reading.

[Marie]

I hope y our friend has good luck, and dances out of the hospital.

[Willard Wells]

Well right now myself and a few others are concerned as the surgery was scheduled for 7:30 AM and was only to be and hour or two at the most. So far we have heard nothing. Hoping for the best for him and don't want to send this positive msg until I know he is doing good. Thank you for reading my work and commenting.

[Willard Wells]

As I finished my comments to you a msg came in that he is doing good.

[Marie]

Well, I'm glad of that.

[Stephen]

Nice. Bet it feels nice without that pain now. Go dancing away now and dance!

[Willard Wells]

Well I am still waiting to hear from my friend that had the surgery. As soon as I know he is OK, I will send this to him. Thank you for reading and commenting. I think the name is a bit deceptive. Hahaha

[ANTO]

Happy days are here again Willard. What a delightful senryu montage you paint here - renewal and new found lust for life. Love the positivity and there really is a Zen-like feel to this series of senryu(s?).
Bravo Will.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Anto. I did not expect such praise as it was just a little something to hopefully bring a smile to a man in pain. Appreciate the read and the kind words.
