Hello, my readers!

I am here today to praise my awesome, talented friend Thea, because I gave her my concept for my logo and she straight-up ran with it.

Look how pretty and shiny it is!

Call for Diabetes Rhymes!

Yes, folks, since it's National Poetry Month and I'm finding it's a bit harder to keep up than I thought, I encourage YOU, my beloved readers, to send me your four-line rhymes about diabetes.

Why rhyming quatrains? I'm not really sure. I just think rhyming things have a tendency to be lighter than free verse, and I am all about making people laugh in spite of their hardship. I will publish your lines on the blog all month long, so keep them coming. Please also leave a link to your blog/TuDiabetes profile/what have you so I can give you the credit you deserve.

Got something silly to say about diabetes? Please email it to me at nrrdygrrl-at-gmail-dot-com.

Happy Easter / spring holiday / Passover / fill in your holiday of choice here to all!

Rhymed Diabetes Silliness, Day 1.

You say I shouldn't be so thick,
My dear, it's just a B-G prick!
Well yes, it's true, it's small I say,
But YOU try this ten times a day!

National Poetry Month, part 1.

A Diabetes Limerick, by me.

Diabetes Limerick #1

A stylish gal with the 'betes
Loved dresses and skirts full of pleats--
Pump clipped to the placket
Of her oversized jacket,
She'd sacrifice fashion for sweets.


Also, yesterday Chris made the brilliant suggestion that for National Poetry Month I could write a quatrain (4 lines, rhyming) a day pertaining to diabetes, then at the end of the month I can recap them all into one massive rhyming diabetes poem! This sounds like a fun challenge. Let's see what we can do with that.

Long Time, No Nothing.

Hello readers!

I miss you!

I have been busy and frolicking in the delightful spring weather, but I promise there is going to be something AWESOME coming very soon.

In the meantime, did you know that April is National Poetry Month?

How do you propose I celebrate, being that I am indeed a poet and a diabetic? I want to do some special things this month, so please let me know if you have any suggestions.

More soon, I promise promise promise.
