Maybe consider alternatives to "ailing?"

Thanks for your thoughts, B.
ReplyDeleteI feel ailing, as in "getting old and more fragile"
... maybe painful would also do it ...
I give it some thought !
And will do my exercises tomorrow morning and ask my knee what it feels ... grin grin ...
I love this haiku, Gabi.
ReplyDeleteOne of your best.
It has humor, determination, addresses aging, and so much more.
Outstanding!

I whisper to my knees all the time... well, pray for them, at least! LOL
ReplyDeleteI wonder if yoga helps or hurts them? One way to find out...
All kidding aside Gabi, I like this ku a lot.
