Litho-trips(y)


Just got back from our vacation, and I'm doing double duty with my Saturday Centus today. Because I missed AlphabeThursday, I will be combining the two for your reading pleasure. The prompt, as always, is in red below.

Litho-trips(y)
©2013 Susan Noyes Anderson

Trials trouble all who travel.
Obstacles get in the way.
Large as mountains, small as gravel,
struggles clog up every day.

Let the river flow, then follow
where its fearless waters lead.
Keep your channels clear and hollow,
open to your every need.

Walking down life's pebbled highways,
blast those boulders or get burned.
Rock the rocks that block your byways.
Leave no kidney stone unturned.

Sometimes in life we do get boulders that block our way..or they seem like boulders at the time. I've seen many, many kidney stones in my day job and I'm always surprised something so small causes so much pain!

Grandma Honey said...

So true, Sue!

Very clever! I hope the kidney stones weren't you, or a family member? Never had one. Don't want one.
And yes - you ARE my "friend in San Francisco."

Lola said...

So true!

Great post - as always!

The kidney stone took me by surprise. :) I bet a kidney stone might seem even bigger than a boulder. Fortunately I do not have an personal experience. :)

Amy said...

Kidney stone. Ouch! I wonder if it really is as painful as giving birth. I have always wondered. You are so clever.

Kris said...

A thought provoking poem along with your awesome writing talents = another winner ( and after that description, I pray I never get a kidney stone )!!!

Jenny said...

Loved this Miss Sue!

Vacation does you good!

I haven't even been linking to my own linkies the last few weeks!

I am hoping to get that all resolved this week.

Those darn unturned kidney stones layed me up pretty well for a week!

Thanks for linking.
