Naturally Sweet Sisters is partnering with Bitter-Sweet for Diabetes Blog Week. For Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 our assignment is to bring out the poet in you! Write a poem, rhyme, ballad, haiku, or any other form of poetry about diabetes.
A Trade-Off
You watch with a worried stare.
Fingers move in a mechanical air.
Poke, prod, push, pull, pat.
A needle snaps back.
The pain you say?
I have life for another day.
