 Its The Dry Season here in Trinidad and Tobago. We are also in The Carnival Season but the pandemic will prevent crowd activities; though the music will keep us   in the mood.

You've heard about the Monday Blues well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea). 
Welcome to Monday WRites #284: A Happy Monday to all. Be Safe.

AND

DAWN: AN EMBRACE
You embrace with bird songs
New dawn, every grain of hope.
Your sunlight gently caresses
My mind, with mysteries of today.
How will i ever exist without
Your cloud hugs? 
Soft and puffy
Like sweet cotton candy at a fair
With ferris wheel rides.
