I’ve become a Long-Haired Hippie
at the age of eighty-six.
It’s really Not Becoming.
I’m in Something of a Fix.
I’ve never, ever worn Long Hair.
Now, Hair is Flying Everywhere!
Now, my Hair’s Beyond Repair.
I’ve Corona Virus Hair Despair.
I’m Sending You a Blessing
I’m sending you a Blessing
for comfort, health, and peace.
I’m sending you a Blessing
to put your heart at ease.
Relentless Virus
The Virus is relentless—
dread numbers on the rise.
In every passing minute,
another American dies.
Six Month Cleaning
The dentist wants to see me.
I don’t want to go.
Isn’t the Virus a reason to skip?
The dentist just says: No.
November Forecast
The forecast is for rain today.
Yesterday, we had rain.
It’s supposed to rain tomorrow.
And then, it will rain again.
Dark Virus
The columns of death are rising.
There’s a long, dark road ahead.
The numbers shake the heart and soul:
a quarter million dead.
Good Dog!
We’ve had a lot of dogs
through the course of the years.
They’ve mainly brought friendship.
They’ve brought a few tears.
They’ve all been different –
as we knew they would.
But, they all have loved, and,
they’ve tried to be good.
Spot
I’m thinking today
of Cheryl’s dog, Spot.
Small in size. Big in heart.
A quivering bundle of energy.
Loyal and true as she could be.
Black Bunnies
Two black bunnies sit in the rain
and nibble at my grass.
Stone still. Ears stiff. A little twitch…
eyes watch me as I pass.
December Book Club Meeting
Our Book says I’m the hostess
for our next upcoming meeting.
So, I thought I’d plan to clean a bit,
and think on what we’re Eating.
But, Our Guv just put the Kibosh on
our luncheon in December.
This year of 2020
is a time we’ll all remember!
I send my love to each of you,
with wishes for Health and Fun.
I know we’ll get together again
in Twenty-Twenty-One.
