Some of you are artistic and use your creativity to capture your experiences.  After Allyson, a reader, commented on an article about descriptions of pain in The Age of Iron, I invited her to share with us a poem about her experience with pain…

Sadness, my friend.
Too justifiable.
Fear, my companion.
Identifiable.
Pain, my tormentor.
Undeniable.
Suffering, my moments,
Intolerable.

Others on the web write pain haiku and make migraine collages.  There’s even a Pain and Art exhibit.  Do you have a creative outlet through which you describe your pain experience?  If so, in what ways does that help you?

Thanks to Allyson for sharing her poetry.  Others can send in their work or share it below in the comments.
