Virus Versus


Today flu virus
washed my brain with mud
then wrote this.

Tomorrow drugs
will numb my nerves clean
of writing anything.

Soon I will wish
for poetry's sweet plague
& the death of all antidotes.



John G.Hall(c)2004

I've had the flu, and pneumonia, but the worst virus of all is the poetry bug, when it gets you, you don't want to be cured of it. Lovely way of expressing this thought John.

At Love at first sight,

I like this John, a very cool poem! I wonder where you do catch it, is it an innate or learned skill/craft? I hope you don't get better soon! Nice works John.

Thanks

Don

2nd star on the right straight on till morning

heaven's halo is yawning,
slowly waking, light is breaking,
a beacon blazing,
brightness adorning.
ascending the skies,
a blinding surprise,
in a child's eyes.

i caught mine from "poppy"
or is that "tuppence" or "sorceress",
all the same thing to me,
but i think it's one of the best bugs to have.
