This Month Kat Myrman has suggested a new theme for the daily poem—the Terza Rima, writing one stanza each day.
A terza rima consists of stanzas of three lines (or tercets) usually in iambic pentameter. It follows an interlocking rhyming scheme, or chain rhyme. This is where the middle of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the following stanza. There is no set length to this form, as long as it follows
I shall be joining Kat Myrman and Jane Dougherty in this challenge.
Life… A Terza Rima,
I had some black times it was never easy but we all survived
As our family out grew our home so we bought a bigger house
Sometimes I just hid inside my head until my soul revived.

Installment 24 of Life for this month’s Terza Rima Daily Poem Challenge, one tercet at a time

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. Eleven years ago 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 " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update 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 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find 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 ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) 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 as strongly 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 think you’ve got a typo in that last line, Willow, or else it’s just me being dense.
Thank you Jane I shall have a look 💜
You were spot on, thank you💜💜
🙂
💜💜💜💜
perfect 🙂
Surviving and reviving….a young mother’s challenge. Glad you made it through! ❤️❤️❤️
I did I often wish I had been a better mum 💜
I think most all moms feel that way. We all make mistakes….We were so young! ❤️❤️
Yes so young and your babies do not arrive with an instruction manual do they. 💜💜
Unfortunately, no. 😆❤️❤️
It all a maze!!💜
Yes, a maze, and amazing at the same time. 😊💕🌼
I am , was a complete mess 🙃😱
I can relate! 😳🤗 Mostly exhaustion….
Yes indeed 💜, plus the weather and an unwell dog things are stressful.💜
Oh no, is Ruby sick?
(Sorry I’m behind reading blogs – have a flu bug which makes me just want to sleep.) Hope you’re doing all right, in spite of the weather. It continues to be hot and dry here too.
Let know how Ruby’s doing.
I am sorry to hear you have a flu bug that can be very nasty. Do rest up and improve quickly. Poor Ruby has had three lumps removed two from her shoulder one from her neck and they also x-rayed her paw and found arthritis poor girl looks like she will not be out walking for about 10 days. Not much fun right now keeping her quiet.Due to anesthesia she is woozy. She will not be able to walk or free run for ten days which she will hate. Hubby is in mother hen mode looking after her! It is still very hot here but we have had two rain storms this evening and thunder and lightning. My foot is improving. We take Ruby back to the vets Monday so I will keep you informed.💜💜💜
Ooh, poor Ruby. I hope she heals up quickly. It’s so hard when they don’t understand why they can’t do what they want. Hopefully those 10 days will go fast. Sounds like she’s getting lots of TLC from you both. ❤️❤️
Thanks for the good thoughts. I’m just hoping to get over this before Sunday. Family is having a “remembrance” for my son on what would be his 46th b-day. It’s been 14 months since he passed and we weren’t able to get everyone together for a memorial at the time. Really need to make it to this.
Have a great weekend, Willow! ❤️💕
I do hope you can improve Betty you do need to be there with your family . I shall pray you get better in time. I find Honey, lemon ,a total of whisky and hot water are a good aid to beating flu.
As to Ruby she will get loads of TLC. 💜💜💜
Thank you. ❤️❤️
🐕 pets to Ruby. 💓
