A Writer's Fit

by Tonja Taylor  
5/24/2020 / Poetry

 I believe in exercise,

in staying fit and well,

but I spend most of my free time

on writing things to sell.

 

I'm faced with a dilemma

of the most disturbing kind:

Should I exercise my muscle groups,

Or exercise my mind?

 

It's hard to write good poetry

while under such distress;

between rhymes I do wonder

how I'll look in my new dress.

 

But I've found a firm solution

to my conflicting needs:

I turn on the phone recorder,

lift some weights, and shout strong leads.

 

Then I cycle to a rhythm

while composing words of wit,

settle back into my chair

and realize a better fit.

 

Now both ends are benefitting;

my investment's paying off,

and I seldom ever jiggle

when I take the time to cough. 

 

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.  --Proverbs 15:15, KJV

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.    --Proverbs 17:22, KJV

Through books, courses, presentations, service, prayer, worship, and more, Tonja and her husband live to exalt God. Her series for girls, P.O.W.E.R. GIRL ADVENTURES, is now out (books I-V), along with LEGACY; YOUR HOLY HEALTH: VISIONS OF THE KING, and more. See the "River Rain Creative" YT channel.
