Mentally exhaustedWe’re physically neglectedIn this together Passing by the timeFollowing the WHO’s biddingFlattening the line RediscoveringA humanitarian’sGenerosity Within our dwellingsOpportunities awaitMake the best of it Let’s get reacquaintedTurn this to our advantageClean out the closets Inspired by Colleen’s 2020 Weekly challenge No. 172, #Poet’sChoice and I spring-boarded from Ritu’s relatable poetry submission.
The past, still ~ #Senryū
Sometimes, I look back At all of the crap written Then have a good laugh
Doomed bloom
Even the itsy bitsy spider Found himself tired and uninspired Climbing up that water-spout Just to be washed back out He gave it a lot of thought Before deciding to take off For an environment that inspires To feel a life full of blissful desire It was on a warm spring day He set outContinue reading “Doomed bloom”
Super Bloom 💐 🦋
On my paid commute I’ve seen it a time or two The California “Super Bloom” I’ve even been blindsided By the breathtaking migrants Causing an array of excitement Enthralled by the views (and news) Billions of butterflies & touristy pursuits I took this lousy picture for you

Put a spoon in it
Life’s all about give and take The weekend got in the way I pulled an emergency break Allowed dirty dishes to stay Piled in muck for 1 or 2 days Till no forks remained in tray It didn’t bring about doomsday In fact, I served coconut cake A spoon simply stood in its place
Sweet Tart
When life gives you lemons It’d be a real shame To make boring lemonade With a squeeze of citrusy heaven That’d be sort of lame When there’s so much more Just waiting to be made As tastebuds would say, explore These Meyers beauties Are simply the best To refresh the experienced, Yet lazy chef withContinue reading “Sweet Tart”
Overused ~ #Haiku
Complacency found Tucked between three scribbled lines That should count, not rhyme
