Niyna Desangre Poet Dramatic Monologue

Listen to poem:

Bad News

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.

Caren Krutsinger June 11, 2019 at 11:12 PM 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. Niyna Desangre June 12, 2019 at 9:11 AM 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.
