This novenary reel, How I Did Yell, has the proper formatting and reminds the rest of us to watch our step or we might find some poetic inspiration after plopping on our keisters as well.

I really like this even if it's not truly a novenary reel.
Even though the situation isn't funny, you make it sound humorous as usual.
I do hope you are okay.
Hugs,
MJ

You made me smile here Debra with this fine Novenary Reel full of movement as you fall on your bottom! Oh dear, I bet that did hurt. Very inventive with a perfect syllable count, and a joy to read, this is a lot of fun and thank you for giving this one a whirl! Love Dolly x x x

Ouch! go and buy an inflatable swimming ring to sit on. A bruised / cracked coccyx is an extremely painful affair. I much enjoyed your Novenny Reel, you told a horrible story with great humour. kay

Dolly will be so thrilled that another poet has used her form! It is a fun style and you made it even more fun describing a humorous situation and I hope it's not biographical!

and curse, aswell - (as well)

    Hi Helen,
    Thanks for your helpful feedback - typo now fixed :)
    Unfortunately it is biographical - I?m a little sore this morning and am sporting quite a colourful bruise...
    Best wishes as always, Debra x

    That's when arnica comes in handy for me. But as long as you're not allergic to the daisy family of plants...

Wonderful! Very amusing and a lovely modified novenary reel ( I hate following rules too!) I think it suits this verse form admirably and its very modern style is a winner for me! Your character also shines through! Well done, Debbie
