#Nerdlution Solution {Poetry Friday}

#Nerdlution Solution

oh no,

my toe,

won't let me go!

ingrown nail

reduced my pace

to that of a snail

I won't win a race

tweet #nerdlution

for a solution

you might like

riding a bike

that might not go

in the snow

no biking in the snow, silly

the wheels will go all, willy

I think you swim at a pool

if they have bikes

that would be cool.

My friend Mary Lee sent a tweet asking permission to skip a few days of walking last night from her #nerdlution because she had an infected toe.  Part of #nerdlution is the community we are developing to support each other while taking care of ourselves.  When I was thinking of a reply, I knew my audience. Mary Lee is a poet.  When we are passionate about something or interested in something we will closely read.  I chose to write a bit of poetry to Mary Lee in hopes she would consider my suggestion a bit more and find a solution to keep going with her #nerdlution.  I should of known Mary Lee would reply suggesting I had a poem for Poetry Friday.  I did and it freed me to go beyond a 140 character tweet.

I do hope your toe is feeling better Mary Lee.

Thank you Robyn of Life on the Deckle Edge for hosting Poetry Friday this week.
