Painful Lessons

“The beauty if writing is the artform is unlimited. A writer can construct their words in whatever form or style they choose – Never let an editor tell you otherwise!”

I wrote acrostic poem in answer to the following prompts:
FOWC with Fandango — Series
Ragtag Daily Prompt — Health
Word of the Day Prompt — Heuristic

Painful Lessons

He suffered a series of painful events
Each damaging his health for all intents
Unclear why he had such bad luck
Ritchie left hospital, got hit by a truck
It’s a miracle he didn’t break a limb
Somehow it was heuristic for him
Torturous as it was, Ritchie felt strong
Incredibly he was never down for long
Climbing to his feet, Ritchie marched on
