Wake, my friend, from fitful sleep! The moon has vanquished day to night. Share with me what you have seen, and I shall warm with you my wine. Was it fever raptured you? I have white willow bark to cure; calendula and feverfew, valerian that I've procured. I made broth for you to sip. You'll pardon me? You do seem lean. Pheasant shall be served forthwith. Eat, and tell your tales to me. Do not fear--no ghost appears before your wary eyes! Speak your truth and I'll tell you the lies of my demise. |

Very intresting poem, Hypatia. Much enjoyed. I don't think I have read you before but will make sure that I do in the future. Ida |

you brew a hearty broth and spin a ghastly tale now gift a moment's pause and hear how truth prevailed |

That your demise was coined from lies I am most pleased to hear. Your poetry so fresh and new would not be writ If tales were true or so it would appear. Nice writing. Joyce |

quote: Yes! Gads, I wish I were well enough to write...I would have liked to have this on my charts.  Well done, m'friend. |

What is wrong with me? I saw Brad Pitt being nursed back to health  This was a picturesque poem, well in my head anyway. |
