Featured Poem: Topical

By Barbara Castle Hanson
Cape Canaveral Branch, Florida

 

Topical methods

 of applying medications

 to the skin

 are used by

 practioners

 all over the world

 to alleviate pain.

 

What if a balm

could be created

made from soothing

natural essences

like lavender,

lemon,

chamomile,

rose petal

that one could apply

to the derma

covering the heart.

    I like the aromas listed in the second stanza – the sense of smell is used effectively. And the last line is very nice.

    A What-if poem that has its own healing property. Reading it, you know you are not alone.
