Morning Sickness- a teeny verse for World Poetry Day
1
Keats, it is not… nor Wordsworth… but poems come in all shapes and sizes and on all subjects! So how about a glimpse at morning sickness? After all it is the reason I won’t have any more children! It’s horrific enough to deserve it’s own poem on World Poetry Day…
Morning Sickness
I’m ok to work,
Tell myself a lie,
My breakfast isn’t sitting right,
My stomach all awry.
It’s just a little nausea,
What with baby due,
Everyone gets morning sickness
not just selected few?
Customers burst through the door,
I smile

my largest smile,
But their perfume is so sickly,
Eau de ’toilet’ comes to mind.
They try on items,
Make me fetch,
All the while,
I want to retch.
My pallor green,
My voice a quiver,
I need fresh air,
My body shivers.
’All right love?’
A husband asks,
I try to nod, it’s coming,
Try to move,
All too late,
I’ve vomited over Jimmy choos..
