Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of a female sick with the upset stomach caused by covid

Death's Door

She sits upon commode, hold plastic-lined 

Garbage bin, pale, agonized

Prayer, God help me, please

Sponsor: Constant LaFrance
Thanks for the challenge..

Anitha, I am not the only one. So many people have suffered with some coming through to the other side and live and some faced death and went to their reward. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Constance, I still am not thinking very well. LOL. Much worse than before I got sick so my poetry isn't up to par but I had to start somewhere to try to get it back. That was what I was feeling and thinking at the time. I know Kimo are supposed to be Haiku like and about nature not human ills. Anyway I appreciate you reading my work and finding it okay for a place in the contest. Sara

Jan, It was the worst upset stomach that I have ever had. I would not wish it on anyone. My grandson had it also but it only last about 4 days and he was over it. It doesn't work that way with the elderly or at least some elderly. Thanks for the visit to my page. I hope that you remain well. Sara

I am like Tom, hoping this is fiction Sara and you are feeling better...Delice

Delice, A real life experience. My husband got pneumonia but I had more of stomach problems but I had some congestion also but not as bad as him. It is ragweed time of the year so it is hard for me to know if my congestion is from allergies or something else. My daugthers came on a Wednesday after I had been sick for a week and called an ambulance but they said I would have to wait in the ambulance for three hours to get a bed in the ER. I could not do that in the shape I was in. They told my daughters what to do. Sara

I was hoping this was a fictional write Sara, I hope you are feeling better. Tom

Tom, It was real life adventure into the world of COVID. I can't believe that I was sick for around 21 days. So glad that God saw me through. When I thought I would not make it, He saw my potential on the other side. I am having good days and bad days still but at least it isn't all bad days. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Your comments are valuable to me. Sara

Jack, Thanks for the visit. I think when I was lying on the floor(carpeted) with a pillow and a blanket thrown over me was even more memorable. Kind of tied maybe. I was glad when Cody got up and was able to help me get in the bed. Sara
