Gutsy pink   

 

Pink has guts 

Barbie has guts 

Pink has girl power 

 

Guts are messy

Fleshy messy

Complicated messy 

Unruly messy 

 

Your gut knows what you are feeling 

Do you know what you are feeling?

 

Those messy, squishy, squelchy, pink guts

Are cleverer than you 

Listen to your 

Gut feelings 

Gut instincts 

Gut intuition 

Even when you are feeling gutted!

 

Remember to feed your guts with goodness 

Good feelings 

Good food 

Be positive 

 

Have a good belly laugh!

 

Your guts will reward you by not behaving like a naughty child 

Reduce 

Tummy aches 

Gurgles 

Bloating 

Food intolerances

Taking laxatives

Rushing to the toilet!

 

Have healthy, pinky, happy clappy, beautiful guts and lovely poos

Thanks. The poem was written about as series of paintings  I made called Gutsy Pink. My work as a painter is influenced by my lived experience of my gut health.

Gut straight to the point :)

I'm off to take some medicine (various recommended).

Humour is an element of this poem but it also has a serious side about my lived experience of gut health. It is trying to explain the workings of the gut brain axis and the importance of it to our wellbeing, in an accessible way. But take which ever pill works for you!
