Hi friends,
I'm bored, sitting at my desk, and the muse hit, so I cobbled together a quick sonnet about diabetes.
If there are any other budding bards out there, maybe you can add to the thread.
It's just for fun

Diagnosis: a Sonnet

I’m still somewhat in a state of denial,

Since diagnosis just some months ago

Because my readings tend to be below

The diabetic threshold all the while.

The change of life is something of a trial

And my moods keep on moving to and fro

It won’t be till December that I’ll know

The status of my pancreatic isle.

But then, I realise as a point, it’s moot

At least in terms of dietary needs

I wouldn’t go back to my days of yore.

I won’t go back to carbs, and sweets and fruit,

Now I’ve got used to healthy, tasty feeds.

In certain ways, I’m happier than before.

Thanks Geordie for this I hope other poets will post ,
