MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.

I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.

When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.

When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.

Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.

I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.

There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash
.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Great poem Bill, and expresses a sentiment I share.  I don't know what I'd have done without this forum and great group of helpful, empathic, warm and friendly people.  The medical profession does what it can, and ostomy nurses are invaluable, but nothing else compares with being able to share your experiences with others who are in the same boat as you, especially when you are going through rough seas!

P.S. I see you ran into this morning's bug as well. I keep getting errors when I post a message from my Chromebook. So, I try again. Same error. Then come to find out that my response was posted twice. :-)

I've been getting the same. I didn't think my answer to Bill worked, but there it is!

Well said, Bill!  :)  There is nothing I can add that Terry hasn't already expressed.  

Thank you, both!  :)
