covid/coffee

my lungs are burnt

and I am weak

I crawl upstairs

and dip my beak

in caffeine strong

and bitter-black

it will provide

the will I lack.

Hi there! I'm new also, and I also love the poets listed in your about me. I really enjoyed this poem. "bitter-black" and "dip my beak" stand out especially to me. Thanks for sharing and welcome!

Coffee, the cure all and kick start to every one of my days.
Enjoyed the read Elyne...how is that pronounced ?

[Elyne Knight]

Ha, no particular way actually, it's just a pen name I made up :D
In my head it's "ee-line".
Thank you, glad you liked it!

Fighting Covid myself, trying to drown it with caffeine! Much enjoyed this, Elyne!

Thank you John! I'm fine now, thank goodness. I don't know what I'd do without caffeine! (sleep, maybe?)

I am glad :)
