Forgetful Flu
as spirit shadows of the past wait children of the sunlight remember - - -but there was this one time.
Forgot the card
Forgot to visit
Forgot to say
just how much
I love you Mum.
Facing Mother's wrath
Spirit wind blows
Icy cold blast
shivering fever strikes
giving me intolerable flu.
Coughing and spluttering
Mum's ghostly voice
whispers in delight
serves you right
for being so forgetful.
