My stomach is a stormy ocean
and I am an ocean liner,
furniture sliding left and right,
uncomfortably.
Captain stands firmly at the helm,
looking forward,
aiming for calm,
hoping the ship
does not betray his confidence.

Peppermint tea. Rest. Plain foods. Please feel better and Get Well Soon.
I would like to be at home in bed, rather than putting on a brave face and soldiering through!
Who is the captain?
lol Control over the urge to vomit, I think. Very symbolic. 😉
Good one 😀 I like it already
Thanks.

bleah. nice poem, well conveyed feelings. I’m a bit queasy over the moiling of life, and probably my stomach now too, in sympathetic vibrations. If I’m sick, I’m not generally inspired to write poetry. well done. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks. I took a sick day today and slept, but not feeling much better yet. I hope tomorrow is better! How your moiling eases!
I hope the roiling stops soon. Blessings.
Yes, all is well now.
LOL. I know that feeling, Shawn. Thanks for sharing 🙂
