Frame of mind

If you could paint your current mood onto a canvas, what would that painting look like? What would it depict?

 

Down but not out

 

Lethargically propped up in my bed

as dark gloomy clouds float overhead

 

Damp murky fog is drifting all around

while frozen dew glistens on the ground

 

This vision reflects the way that I feel

just like a boat that’s turned up its keel

 

My stuffed up nose and my throbbing head

from a germ invasion easily spread

 

Countenance becomes quiet depleted

my murder novel’s now completed

 

It’s time to rally and try to fight back

and head on down a positive track

 

Essence of lemon is steaming close by

and eucalyptus to give a try

 

Employing honey and hot lemon juice

to track this germ like a well-trained sleuth

 

Natural medicine works the best

to sooth a sore throat or ease a tight chest

 

This sick girl will fight back like a thug

Rather than downed by a damn little bug.
