Poetry: Blood

by Ennette Aitken

Created on: September 28, 2008

Blood Test

Nervously I wait in line
Hear a shout, was it me that time?
Nurse appears and calls my name
In you go, just in there

Nervously I enter room
Lay up on that bed for me
Make yourself comfy
Now lets see what vein we need

Ah there's a nice one she anounced
Slaps my vein to make it dance
A little prick is all you'll feel
Needle starts to enter me

OUCH! not sore at all you know
Crimson tide begins to flow
How much more does she need
Atlantic ocean, the deep blue sea

Nervously waiting for the end
Wait she announced, tides gone out
I'll have to start all over again
"I faint"
