Two week ago I 'discovered' Poetry Thursday; a wonderful project to share poetry and inspire poetry writers. This weeks poetry prompt is the phrase 'the body knows'. Below you'll find my trial poem. Hope you like it.
our mind knows
visions are misleading
when we sit up straight
to stretch-out
seemingly significant worries
the heart ploughs
a muscle, busy exploring
the limits of a smile
'cause the body loathes
being submitted to our stories
(and yet, we're still running
the entire sleight mile)

Welcome to PT and yes you did right.
Our minds and bodies seem to always be in conflict.
I like your trial poem. The line, "exploring the limits of a smile", when that smile holds back a scream.
