My Tinnitus Created Mirth & Verse

My interest in poetry is very strange. In 2007 I started to suffer, as I still do suffer, from tinnitus, but I had never heard of it back then. It was so bad that I went on sick leave and made all kinds of demands from doctors and others. I even had a head scan! A tumour was found and removed, but it had nothing to do with my tinnitus. Since then I have not been able to stop reading and writing poetry. Is there a connection? I don't know. My tinnitus is still a big discomfort to me 24/7. My poetry writing is the best distraction for me, and for a few hours each day it helps me forget about the tinnitus until I stop. So write I shall until the end. Do read some of my poetry, my friends. There is no great wisdom I have to pass on, so I'm sorry about that. If I did have any, it would be pretend!
