Prediction

90,000 people will die

in the few short weeks ahead.

My mind can’t comprehend it.

My soul is filled with dread.

COVID Birthday Party

We had a Birthday Party.

It was quite a lot of fun.

We “masked” and “social distanced,”

and when it all was done,

we did a COVID Toe Tap to

express our fond good-byes….

…just a simple birthday party,

and still a nice surprise.

Thanks, Val!

I got my COVID Vaccine!

I lived through my Ordeal!

The process went so smoothly…

….it didn’t even feel!

(And Thanks to All the Kind Staff at Skagit Regional Health)

Corona Virus Hair

I feel morose.

I am in despair.

I looked in a mirror and

I saw my hair.

I was in a salon

one year ago.

Now the woman I see –

I hardly know.

A Sympathetic Heart

What the world needs most

is a sympathetic heart…

a simple connection

in a world that’s apart.

One Against the Virus

The staggering losses continue.

The death toll continues to mount.

I do all I can to contain it.

But, my efforts don’t seem to count.

Fairy Tale

I’m looking for a Fairy Tale

with some levity and some laughter.

I need to find a Fairy Tale

with some Happiness Ever After.

Virus Isolation

Today my walk was

quite a bit Wetter.

But, being Outside’s

still a Whole Lot Better.

Spring Ahead?

The days are getting longer.

There’s a soft’ning in the air.

Green shoots are pushing upward.

Spring is showing ev’ry where.

“Winter of Discontent”

This Winter of Our Discontent

has been a year of woe.

‘Tho fragile light flicks up ahead,

we still have far to go.
