Stuck

24/09/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



I am stuck.

I slipped over,

I fell down,

And now I’m stuck.



My toes are jammed.

They cannot move an inch –

Not wriggle or jiggle or squirm –

They are all jammed.



My foot is trapped.

It’s wedged in

Tight as it can go

And I’m definitely trapped.



My ankle is wedged.

It’s unable to be extracted

From this encasement;

It couldn’t be more wedged.



My calf is caught.

Held tight by the vice

That cannot let go,

And it’s certainly very caught.



My knee is pinned.

I cannot bend not straight it

To make loose this grip

That has it well and truly pinned.



My thigh is held.

I must wait

Until help arrives

And my thigh is not held,

My knee is not pinned,

My calf is not caught,

My ankle is not wedged,

My foot is not trapped,

My toes are not jammed

And I am not stuck anymore.
