SOL26: March5: You Deserve Flowers

 This month, I am writing with the Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life community. Today's slice is a reverse poem about dreaded appointments. I tried several forms before I settled on this one!  

"Onto the next appointment," I sighed wondering if my luck would hold, while holding my tulips tightly in the bag where I keep my notebook, hopes and dreams.

"You deserve flowers," I thought as I skipped out of the building grabbing some yellow tulips near the door.

"I looked over all the lab reports and data from the last year. I have to say you are stable,!" she smiled before she added a few ifs, ands and buts about returning....

"My blood pressure is going to be through the roof," I thought as I waited for what seemed to be an eternity but really was just the status quo for doctors' offices. 

"Show me the way," I told Google Maps and headed to the appointment, thinking about every possible excuse I could and dreading the imminent scolding.

"I'm thinking spring," I thought as I donned a light weight top, even though it was snowing last night, hoping the cheerful colors would brighten my mood!

"I'll take that appointment," I said very reluctantly to the person inquiring when I was going to come back to see this doctor, as I was overdue.

"I hope time will help," I steamed as I exited the glass monolith, not agreeing with her, in my opinion, aggressive, plan. 

"I don't see any way around it," the doctor said shaking her head. "You are going to have to have to at some point, but take a few weeks to think it over!"
