Ciao!
Glad that you are no the mend.
I live on my own and I dread to get sick cause one has no strength to make even broth or plain rice.
Covid is now being treated as if it were a bad flu and for most it's that or even less.
On the other hand many young adults have been very sick and after months still suffer symptoms even though not positive anymore.
In big cities, people living in condominiums have been found died days after.
Yes , the world outside our door or window continues just fine without us.

All so true! Good luck in staying healthy, and STOCK UP on soup in the meantime! Thanks for your review.
Comment from Celyn
I am sorry to hear that you suffered with Covid and I hope that you are fully recovered now. This poem describes the feelings of a fever well and also covers what it is like to recover and see that nothing much has changed. The rhyming is good throughout as is the rhythm. The only bit that I find a little forced is the last phrase at the end of stanza two, ie 'but before I drowned'. Maybe I am not quite getting what you mean there. If so I am sorry as the rest of the poem is great.
Good luck with it
