It is my own fault I did not have the nerve to sign up for the April A to Z Challenge ! But I could not let it go, one part of me said ( quite rationally ) you have enough to be coping with , don’t put yourself under pressure while the other part of me was screaming you wooze you lazybones you have to do it ! The latter part of me shouts louder and much more harshly than the sensible side!
So here I am Not doing the A to Z April Challenge! Everyday except Sunday I shall post a Nonet, yes I have decided to use the Nonet for my non entry’s! A Nonet is a nine line poem. The first line containing nine syllables, the next line has eight syllables, the next line has seven syllables. That continues until the last line (the ninth line) which has one syllable. Nonets can be written about any subject. Rhyming is optional.
I do apologize to those who have organized this event and those participating …. I reading those that I know of …. But I an a wooze. The louder braver part of me is urging me on and telling me that next year I must join up and brave up!!
So good luck to everyone involved and I hope you don’t mind we tagging along unofficially!
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

I’m a bigger wooze than you. Just the thought of having to come up with a post every single day for 26 days scares the heck out of me. But I’ll enjoy reading everyone else’s A to Z posts.
I would so love to! But I think there’s a huge body of water between us, and I haven’t gone swimming in a long, long time.
Virtual hugs! I’ll have a glass of wine in your honor this evening.
I am enjoying a glass of red..cheers!!
Being a difficult child, I hated being told what to do. If I signed up, thousands of blog ideas would bombard me daily and would be so resentful if told to wait in line.
I love the Nonet idea! Cheers and applause
