What shall I write? A daily task
Strange thing to do, you may well ask;
We flounder in pandemic times
Where ‘going viral’ means more rhymes!
Inspiration is a funny thing;
How to predict what
thoughts will spring
From deep within
each troubled mind?
Lost memories come back on line…
Corruption charges in high spheres?
CNN and Fox News scares?
My battered Muse has lost its spark
So many of us kept apart …
Yet our creative streak awakes
We sew, design, knit or bake cakes;
Let’s email those from long ago;
‘Zoom’ and ’Skype’
make friendship flow!
So much we
treasure put on hold
While mounds of toys remain unsold;
Restrictions force us to take stock
While stocks of vaccine - dreams unlock…
