Three from my Bed

Thank you Rose. I reckon I'm over the worst now but still shuffling around the place like a half-awake space-cake  :))

Love them all, but especially the 2nd one.
Feel better soon!

Thanks very much BT - I'm on your side with the second one as No:1 choice - it was one of those where you think you know what you're going to write on the next line but when you get there you find yourself writing something a little bit different from expected - the muse at work - the surprise in the creative process - such moments make it all worth while.

I just had the same experience yesterday when thinking about socks morphed into a love poem.... it went deeper than I expected, and I kept trying to pull it back to frivolity but the muse just wouldn't have it!
I agree, those moments are the best.

Illness doesn't diminish your eloquence in the slightest  Josh. I hope you're feeling better. Do what you gotta do to take care of you

Thank you Willow - I think I've turned the corner today. Best regards, Josh.

LOL! These are the kind of thoughts I have when I'm under the weather, Josh.  It's like a succession from dark dreams to waking reality.  The second one really touched me; I have felt that way many times.

Good to see you back and glad you're on the mend, Josh.

Thank you Ahavati - and gradually regaining my strength.

Very poignant share  .. I, as well was moved especially by the second offering  .. glad to see you are on the mend Josh

Thank you Jemac - glad you liked the shares. 2nd one seems to be the fave so far.

Spoken like a wise man and soothsayer.
Great stuff Josh.

Thank you Wally - always good to hear from you.

"Descent" is right on the money... it's the down-climb where you get hurt... pushing muscles already tired...to extra precision and care...which under the circumstances...is a commodity rare.

" Loneliness" seems familiar...like a bad case of delirium...but it's been a while since my muse has chosen to  abandon me...to suffer in feverish misery... my thanks to the gods of poetry...may you be rewarded post haste...

As for the post election suggestion...
Oh how I would like to see...Congress hung out to dry...thank you for the sickbed prompt...I'll sing you a political lullaby...hugs... Ely

A great writer and amazing at helping DUP representation

Thank you Liam for dropping by again - hope you're doing well. Best regards, Josh.

Thank you hrshykss - and I really hope you're well on the mend too. Best wishes,
Josh.

"Descent
It’s not the ascent that kills you
but the descent -  
gravity pulls you down  
back into the valley  
where shadows are longer."

Ain't that the truth. Preach it brother.

Solid ink, Josh. Makes one pause to think.

Yours,
LostGirl

Thank you LostGirl for visiting again. Have a good week, Josh.

I've still got some mending to do myself.  I've taken off my finger splints to write a few comments.  You remain a fine poet despite your malady.

Hello Crow again. Finger-splints? I've been away in U.K and not being paying attention except have noticed you being away some time until just now. Sounds like something nasty; hope you are well on the road to recovery. Best regards, Josh.

I really love this thinking ink Josh...powerful indeed. Hung parliament...we need some strong rope man.
Cheers...Harry

Thanks Harry again for reading, and for the RL. Not sure if the U.K manufactures sisal rope any more - if not, better order some before the borders close.   :))

I enjoy your vignettes Josh and wish you a speedy recovery. Be safe and blessed. <3

Thank you Daniel. All the best, Josh.
