Fever Poem

I'm drinking fluids as Far suggests
But something still sits right on my chest.
I'm thinking fever inspires writing
The purple prose is so frightening.

One-oh-three doesn't sound very bad
But the rib cracking cough makes me sad.
And I wrote and found a thousand words
Spewed disorganized like cattle herds.

Good to hear *someone* *somewhere* listens to me!

I agree that fever inspires writing. The time I had the flu, when I wasn't napping I was writing. It turned out pretty well, too.

Here's hoping you get better soon, and get some good writing done either way…
