The cough drop
Seems like a hard
Oddly flavored candy,
But it can bring comfort.
It’s taste is reminiscent
Of the tea grandma made,
When you were sick.
Except her tea
Had more sweet honey.
The tingle soothes
And slides down
Your raspy throat.
I wasn’t super inspired for day nine of NaNoWriMo but I still had fun. The prompt was, “write your own ode celebrating an everyday object.” The website entry for today also introduced me to a wonderful Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. I really enjoyed exploring his work.
If you are reading, thank you very much and be well.
