Getting into Your Shape
Honed to the bone
muscled and free
working your torso
a charmed property.
Furrows of ripples
and arms like an ax,
pillarous legs
and hoof pounding back.
Lean and supreme
in motions galore
early to rise with
morning done chores.
Laid concrete thighs
with skin all aglow
grip like a pistol
set to sprint go
When next you see me
next when you're seen
we'll lose our excuses
to eating so clean.
Then we will see
what was there all along
I'll whistle my tune,
and you'll sing your song.

This is me, 10 months after full rotator cuff surgery, where I went from the best shape I had been in in 20 years to flat on my back and not able to lift 5 pounds. This last year has been amazing on so many levels, and now I am ready to get back on track. I ran a 5k 2 weeks ago. I have been winning all my racquetball games. I have begun bojutsu training again. My Ba Gua training has started back up. I'm weight training and eating clean. I will be 60 on November 7. I survived my 20's, worked it out in my 30's, enjoyed my 40's, and loved my 50's. this next decade promises to be everything I ever hoped for, and I want to be ready. I am on a 60 day workout sprint to get ready for 2014. Feel free to encourage me.

Um....speechless...not sure what to think! I really don't--and that's not an insult, I just have no words. Lol--I'm gonna go finish up in Blood Bank now, so I can go home...

Great writing- lean, rich, positive- and perfectly attuned to the message. A superb closing couplet.

I'm trying to understand how to make the writing as lean as I am trying to make my physical body...a lean mean fighting machine.....
