#HAWMC – Day 8 – Poetry…as a Question

April 8, 2011 – Day 8 – Write a poem (5-15 lines) where every line is a health question.

The beginner

How many minutes is an ideal workout?

How many grams of carbohydrate are in a single brussels sprout?

If the meter says 100 mg/dl, am I allowed to gleefully shout?

***

Burnout

Today, must I walk?

Are there carbohydrates in chicken stock?

Is it normal if I sometimes want to pelt the meter with a rock?

***

Veteran

Did you know it is perfectly okay to exercise only four days a week?

Did you know there are 10 grams of carbohydrate in a leek?

Did you know sometimes the meter brings us to our knees, other times it shows us a winning streak?
