I Crawled Out of Bed Today -- a 'feeling sick' poem and a happy vacation poem

Getting a late entry into the Poetry Friday (links collected by Liz B.) arena...

I CRAWLED OUT OF BED TODAY
by
Gregory K.

I crawled out of bed today
And boy, my body aches.
I know I didn’t sleep that well -- I guess I made mistakes.

It feels like I can’t see too straight.
There’s cobwebs in my brain.
Tears are flowing out of me like endless sheets of rain.

I barely have an appetite.
I’m cold, and then I’m hot.
My voice comes croaking out as if my throat’s tied in a knot.

I guess that I don’t have a choice;
I’ll sleep the day away.
But here’s the reason I feel worst...
Vacation starts today.


Wishing all of you happy and healthy vacations!
