Bad News

Listen to poem:

It's said it's never good to hear bad news on an empty stomach_ such as the rolling clouds and clashing thunder. Well as it stands, my stomach's full today; _ doesn't feel any better_ such as the rolling clouds and clashing thunder. Should I have been standing up or sitting down_ such as the harsh winds blows up from down under. Maybe I could have laid me low in a ball on the ground_ such as the harsh winds blows up from down under. I could have stretched me out with arms spread yonder_ such as the last breath taken before my soul fled asunder. What could I have done better my mind keeps a wonder_ such as the last breath taken before my soul fled asunder. w06112019

Life has a way of knocking sense into while knocking the wind out of you. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

I have never heard this in my life, but it makes all kinds of sense. "They say it is never good to hear bad news on an empty stomach" Your poem has educated me Thank you for this.

Is there ever "The Right Time" for "Bad News". no one knows how one would take it. The time has been already decided; and the time is whenever life makes it. It was a moment in time that didn't last very long. I was raised up shortly thereafter. I appreciate the times we share... the happy and the sad.
