A Wizard’s Wand

Hands of steel

Fingers, sinews of silver

Tentacles long and strong

Like a wizard’s wand

Probing and prodding

Pushing down and across

Pressure on, then release

Finding that ouch zone

 

Climbing the spinal ladder

Disc’s four, three, two

Chin on the chest

Opening the neck gaps further

The gifted silver rod pokes hard

Pressing on the point

A sharp pain hits

Behind the left eye

 

The knifing ache eases off

There’s acknowledgement

That was the spot

Then a few neck twists

Strengthening stretches

A session finished

Feeling improvement

Return again, in a few days

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

      1. OH! No! 😦 I’m so sorry to hear this, Ivor! 😦
        Please close your eyes, rest, and listen to soft wonderful music!
        Well, pain IS uncomfortable and annoying (and more 😦 )…so I can understand Grumpy!
        Hope you will be Sleepy, and then Happy soon! And if you have to see Doc, please do. Today I am a bit Sneezy and Dopey, but not Bashful! 😀 (now I have named all of Snow White’s 7 Dwarfs-Friends! I adore all of them! 🙂 )
