Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Exposed

exposed from under the sheets
underclothes and socks
the chill of the morning
the smell of bacon
not likely
a cup of coffee
absolutely
goes down the frozen pipes
hopefully
into the appendages
the major arteries and rural pathways 
to fingertips and toes
the nose usually remains
cold

Jenna Logan October 20, 2022 at 8:24 AM oh my gosh, Kim! Having once lived in a cold climate, my nose was always cold, and thick socks were a must! That's a beautiful photo you've chosen to accompany your poem. Kim Rodrigues October 20, 2022 at 8:50 AM Thank you, Jenna!

Becky Forbes October 20, 2022 at 6:22 AM This is as delicious and warming as the cup of coffee I'm sipping now. SO GOOD! Kim Rodrigues October 20, 2022 at 7:16 AM Thank you, Becky! :)

Victor Buhagiar October 19, 2022 at 10:53 PM Coffee seems to work miracles. Is that a sneeze? :) Kim Rodrigues October 20, 2022 at 4:59 AM lol…no sneeze. After I wrote this, my husband commented that my nose was cold..funny, right?!

Gershon Wolf October 19, 2022 at 10:00 PM We need better distributors in our bodies, perhaps. I'll call 'Mort's Body Shop,' and see if they have any 2023's in yet... Kim Rodrigues October 20, 2022 at 4:56 AM Mort meaning death? lol
