Still Whole #poetry #veteransday

Yes people look and see metal

I like the sound it makes

it creaks along with my left knee

it took awhile but I’m settled

I had to get past

the part that was missin

I’m guessing you’re wondering

do I feel whole still?

yes, but it works on your will

like a test

so when you look at me

smile at my friend

he’s a part of me

and on him I daily depend

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by. View more posts

Interesting poem, Leslie. Sometimes when we aren’t whole physically we feel like a freak. But then again, things always can be worse so smile and embrace what we got 🙂
