I Broke My Arm

by Charlottei aged 10

Last Friday I broke my arm
I cried a lot, I wasn’t calm

I went to hospital in the car
My mum and dad said it wasn’t far

I was given an X-ray
Dad asked if I was okay

It hurts a lot even now
As I write this poem – ow!

By the way I had stitches too
I’ve had them before – have you?

My arm was pulled and tugged some more
Then it became rather sore

It went into a fabric cast
But all of that is in the past

On Thursday this week
I might have an operation – eek!

By the way this story is true

Has it happened to you?

    Wow, painful experience, but clearly you were brave and inspired to write this touching poem. Well done! I have not broken my arm and hope I don’t.

    Hi charlottei That must’ve been a painful experience I really liked your poem I haven’t really broken my arm before or had an x-ray before but I’m sure it hurts one question did the x-ray hurt I feel very bad for you.
