In the Moment

In this moment, writing despite a headache, stuffed nose, blurred vision Dry throat, exhaustion Heart beats pounding, over exerted As it fights the virus/infection attacking A very weak body As the moments fly, erratic thoughts swirl In a moment then disappear Then a new thought emerges from the thick mucus Sticking, it tries to pull forth into motivation Sucked down into a swirling fatigue In this moment, the remnants of a cold???? Sinusitis maybe sucks the joy down the drain Written: December 28, 2014 Author: Sara Kendrick Contest: In The Moment Sponsor: Poetry Destroyer A

sara, was just going off when I saw your lovely comment. Yes, shadowpoetry is still a nice site for us writers. Did you know it in the golden era when it had contests, bookstore and poetry community. I was editor of poetry for Marie and I loved it so much. I even ended up judging the shadow Ink contests myself along with other judges who were anonymous to me. that is how they should judge here. Anonymously and without people knowing the judges either. well, have a good day. I'm done now!!

Sara, this is REALLY good stuff. Not the sinus thing but the way you attacked the subject of it in your writing. GOOD job.
