*Pool noodles give a person extra buoyancy in the water.

Nette Onclaud's Abecedarian In Five 6/11/2025

Lively at eight, the pool’s a.m. Morning coffee’s brewing; I’m bending. Noodled ‘til class end, then I sip. Ostentatious sciatica Propels me into later wake.

Beautiful Abecedarian. Sorry to know that you suffer from sciatica. Somehow happy to know that a cup of coffee will revive you. All the Best, Kim.

It seems this poem has the idea or wish for healing coffee time, and I wish all that sciatica would leave to you can bend better. Enjoyed your thoughts, it's evening, hope your muse gave you some comfort this morning, because I don't know what I would do without mine, lol- <3
