Write a poem about any body part. Go!
comfortablejoe in Poetry & Free Verse

Hello, Leg!

Hello, leg!

How do you do?

I see you there dangling below

Attached to your base,

In lieu of a face

A family of various toes

You serve a great purpose,

Most noble indeed

By propping me up with your brother

And when the day ends

And exhaustion sets in

You work your way out from the covers

Walking through rooms

You can easily bruise

When you find the sharp ends of a table

This doesn't exhaust you

Or permanently haunt you

You're resilient and endlessly able
