Ffion Original Poems

Ffion has a degree in English and French and loves languages, literature, and writing. She also used to love opera, film, theatre, concerts, walking, socialising and, especially, travelling. But her life changed totally when she was diagnosed with ME and, subsequently, Fibromyalgia.

A couple of years ago, poems started to pour out! Poetry is a life-saver, as is making cards for charities for them to sell to raise funds.

Her poems are very varied – not just about ME and FM, but also humorous, about animals, about landscape and nature, for children etc.

She is publishing her poems on her Blog: Ffion original poems

Out of the blue!

It seems that, no matter what you do,
ME and FM arrive out of the blue.

You try to live healthily, in body and mind.
You try to live mindfully, you try to be kind.

Then, these two arrive, uninvited body-squatters,
And don’t go, won’t go, abhorrent Life-blockers!

But at least we know we are not alone.
No need to face this on our own.

There are many people on-side out there.
They want to cure us, we know they care.

We know they won’t leave us in the lurch
Good people in ME and FM research!

THANK YOU!
