Inspired by and written for Your Daily Word Prompt – my thanks to Sheryl

Definition: Toil – v. work extremely hard or incessantly; n. exhausting physical labour

Synonyms: labour, hard work, slaving, struggle, effort, exertion

Form: Bina

to make the rent she works
until she aches in every bone

her chores done another man wants his bone
for his pleasure she works

into the night she works her body to the bone

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry. View all posts by JezzieG
