PULSATILLA REMEDY POEM

by Homeopath Sylvia Seroussi Chatroux, MD, who wrote Materia Poetica: Homeopathy in Verse (Poetica Press 1998).  

Like a flower in the wind

I can sway and I can bend

Noses run and tears do too

Discharge is the thing I do

Do you love me? I'm unsure

Show me, tell me, I need more

As a child I held on tight

To Mama's bed I went at night

Soft and plump and often shy

No surprise to see me cry

One thing that's a little odd

I get stiff if you mention God

I love pizza, lots of cheese

Open air, a welcome breeze

Stuffy rooms can make me sneeze

Drinks are not the thing I need

Diary is my favorite seed

Female problems suit me well

Menstrual cramps and breasts that swell

Menopause and pregnancy

Coughs that will not let me sleep

And when the sun light leaves the sky

My flower booms and I could cry

Pulsatilla is my name

Forever changing is my fame.
