cracking up a poem and some eggs before dawn

Even if the day has not yet started,
the restless poem in my head keeps
me up at night. I did not grow up in an
insightful household, so eating breakfast
so early feels uncommon to me. Then again,
out of habit, I dash into the kitchen, knocking over
the dog's water bowl, waking him up and everyone else, too.

Before "dawn"? Man, I like it, but it reads mostly like morning prose.

Thank you so much for your assistance, for noticing my title mistake, Ermenegildo.

I’m feeling a little under the weather, literally; it has been raining like crazy, and the sunny days are coming, but not until May. So, as I feel now, I will probably do the same tomorrow, the next day, and so forth, but I take it day by day. Sorry for the mistake. The computer has its own mind, and if you do not look, this is what happens: simple mistakes. The good thing is that I won't be making any more mistakes as the winter ends. I hope. Walking clears your lungs and thoughts, but because it's cold and rainy outside, you have to stay inside. Despite not writing as much as I'd like to, I'm still happy and working quite a bit.

My best wishes to you,

Fidel Guerra.

 

Get well soon, Fidel. It gets a little hard sometimes when it comes to fighting some sort of cold and gloomy weather at the same time. The Northwest is just notorious for that.

Best,

Don Erme

 

Don Erme,
I am impressed by your support, kindness, care for my well-being, and courtesy. It is difficult to come from a wonderful fun spot, like Medellin, Colombia, and the surrounding areas, where there is warmth, sun, family, and also cuisine, to the rainy, chilly, but lovely Northwest where I have to interact with a wide range of people at my job, a hospital. I am fortunate to still not have COVID, but a slight cold after 3 and a half years, and for two days.

You have writing skills, which make dealing with the challenging world of words or poetry more enjoyable. I just go around in circles with my simple ideas and see what sticks, but I have fun.

Take care and happy humped day.!

Fidel.
