Pain in the Back

A comic and poem about writer's back pain -_-

Drawn by me :)

Word Hunt

Ow, my back.

I’m hunched up like a crab,

writing and crowding

my many notepads.

- - - - -

Why sit like a princess

and pick at my words?

When I can scuttle like squirrels

far out in the woods?

- - - - -

Words like to grow

so I get on their level.

- - - - -

They leak into reality

and I chase them;

though,

they often laugh at me.

- - - - -

Words

are like a cloaked old woman.

They’ll only speak

when you lean forward

- - - - -

And

listen.
