Chills and Fever
Written for Sammiβs Weekend Writing Prompt #385.
The challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose
in exactly 85 words using the word “vertigo”. Hereβs mine.
What is this sudden disequilibrium?
I feel like I could fall flat on my bum!
Tummyβs flipping and Iβm gonna be sick
Somebody get me some Pepto quick!
Ears are ringing, Iβve got a headache
Doctor, please! I need a break!
First a fever and now the chills
Pass me some of those magic pills!
My heart is racing like an SST
Give it to me straight, Doc. What’s wrong with me?
Whatβs that you say? Itβs love vertigo?
Thereβs no cure? Well, whaddya know!

Lovesick: A Six Sentence Ovi
Written for Three Things Challenge #M681
and Six Sentence Story using the words
level, shudder, shake and quiver
Come on baby, for goodness sake
Give me some of that shimmy shake
With lips as sweet as birthday cake
I got it bad and it’s so good.
Listen now, Iβm on the level
Iβve been stung by the love devil
What you’ve got is kind of special
Itβs something I just canβt explain.
In your arms I melt like butter
You can really make me shudder
Then I stammer and I stutter
Sounds like Iβm losing control.
First my body starts to quiver
From my head down to my liver
Then up my spine runs a shiver
What the hell is going on?
Legs and feet are very chilly
Arms and hands go willy nilly
Now Iβm feeling downright silly
Maybe I should call the doctor.
I hope I donβt sound shallow
Or come across as callow
But I love a sweet marshmallow
Come here sugar, lets make S’mores.
