Outside Cold:
Dark, damp, dankDreary, drizzly, dreich
Dismal, dreadful
Inside Cold:
Sniffly, snuffly, sneezy, snotty
Shivering limbs, sore throat
Sorry-for-myself
But also Heat
A steaming mug of goodness
Hot in my shivering hands
Soothing my sore throat
Golden honey, shiny lemons,
Bright turmeric, zingy ginger
A beaming smile from my soulmate
And a vase of sunny yellow daffodils
Sent by a dear friend far away
..and above all,
the warmth of knowing I am loved
which makes everything feel better
It's just a cold, and it will pass
Feel better very soon, Ang. Love, flowers and hot drinks always help x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sooze. I wrote the poem Thursday night, and I'm beginning to shale off the cold now.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are getting rid of it. Colds are just annoying
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. I have just managed to alter blogger settings and hopefully comment on the blogs I have been following for ages!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that it's your turn to be down with the cold! I guess Bob was very generous and shared his cold germs with you! I did that with my daughter, over Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt's what families do!
