I apologise for the low vote

A vote of one means to me it needs a lot more. What are you really trying to say? Most of us had had sports injuries but what were your feelings? Could you have been a contender? Should gym classes be safer? Is it a metaphor for trying your best and getting hurt? Gimme more, please cheers, Jess

no none of that

My fifteen year old is in a cast my brother in law two nephews are in cast all happen in last two month just writing because injuries are part of life. No special meaning of concern pro or con. Didn't mean to offend. Will revise.

LOL (or at least a big grin)

No offense taken. I can be blunt in my comments but never try to be hurtful. Good luck on the re-write. cheers, Jess

Blunt dosen't bother me

I like knowing when what I say or write may be misunderstood by other. Hope it makes a better communicator and writer. I tend to have an sensitive conscience.

Smiles:) Barbara I like brief too, then I can be a little to brief at time Appreciate you reading and commenting. Your comment remind me to take a look at this again. haiku is brief, thinking about making it that instead.
