World Death Toll: 15,000 a Day
The death toll numbers stagger.
There’s no solace I can find.
There’s no sense or understanding
in this cost to humankind.
COVID Commandment
Love thy neighbor.
Wash thy hand.
Wear thy mask.
Do’st thou understand?
Cascade Mountains
Today we’re ringed by mountains.
Yes, I know they’re always there.
We rarely really see them.
They’re a sight beyond compare.
Dark Winter
The rampage has no ending.
A “Dark Winter” lies ahead.
The Virus kills amongst us.
400,000 dead.
COVID Eating Habits
My COVID eating-habits
are completely Topsy Turvy.
I’ve started to eat oranges
to try to ward off Scurvy.
This January Day
This January Day is fine.
It’s time to stop complaining.
The air is warm. The sky is blue.
It isn’t even raining!
Another Day
Another day is dawning
as we waken from our rest.
It’s another opportunity
to do our Level Best.
My Children
I have two blessed children
who are kind and good.
They’ve become the kind of people
one would wish they would.
Black Crow
A black crow sits on the
neighbor’s white fence,
surveying the neighborhood.
His gaze is steady,
and quite intense.
He’s looking for something good.
