Some of you may know that this summer I have been struggling with eyesight issues for the past three months or so due to infections in my left eye. Yesterday I had surgery to deal with complications and I hope everything might be on the mend now (crossing fingers).
I wanted to keep the poetry-writing string going with something new each week, the procesds I’ve been following for a while. A routine is helpful when things are kind of shaky.
This shadorma deals with another result of my surgery…a slight change in my appearance, thankfully temporary…
Shadorma 365
A purple
of that exact shade –
Long pursued,
never found –
Now – it stares me in the face.
My black eye. Oh dear.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
Potent shadorma, Claudia. Isn’t that the way it goes. Still unattainable on the page. Hoping the surgery takes care of your eye struggles.
Thank you for poetry and eye good wishes. I believe eventually I will be seeing better. Everything just takes time and patience.
You’re welcome.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. (K)
Thank you. There is still a lot of healing to do and the outcome will eventually be a good one, I think , but I just need to be patient.
I’m finding patience harder and harder to come by.
And I had little to start with, in many situations.
Not one of my virtues either.
I hope your surgery is successful. Purple is a special colour…especially certain shades. Lately there has been rare pops of purple around here from wild purple asters. Take care 🙂
Thank you. I love purple asters.
I wish you a speedy and complete recovery, Claudia.
Thank you. It has been a wearing situation with my eyes and I feel the surgery was the right step, now, just need to be patient and let healing take place, and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Send healing thoughts to your eyes, sorry you had to deal with eye issues!
Thank you, I believe the eventual outcome will be good, but it is a long road and requires some patience (which I am not so good at). In the end I think things will be ok, I am very lucky to live where I can get top notch eye care.
I hope your eye makes a good recovery, Claudia. Thinking of you and wishing you well.
Thank you. I feel fortunate to have had good care for this episode and all the other scrapes that my eyes find themselves getting into. This time I should be ok with time (crossing fingers).
