Lay me down to rest:
A puddle of mucus
covered in the softest white blanket
of tissues and paper napkins
When a cold combines with my allergies, the house explodes like a pinata of snotty tissues. This is a poem I wrote during a horrible cold that left me with little energy to do anything but lay in bed. You can tell how exhausted I was by the poem's short nature and simple words (none is longer than two syllables). Thank you for reading!
