The page is white. The page is lined. The page is made for writing on. Pencil, pen, markers will do.

Oh! Did i mention the page is lined. Guess i did. Who am i kidding. I have nothing going on up in my head. So the page is white with lines.

I should write something. Or maybe not today. Maybe tomorrow. When the moon wanes in the morning sky. Not a bad start to something.

What will it be? That nice new clear see through ball point. Blue ink. I remember specifically asking for blue ink. Oh well there's always tomorrow when a poem rears its beautiful head.

CORONA COCOON

To dawn i bow in deep respect

The action of hope in effect

Again engines are rumbling

The wheels of industry turning

Traffic jams in the streets piling

Return to old can we accept

The new normal landed for sure

Oh it was so quiet before

When we hid in our homes or

Just stayed indoors because we wept

Family and friends swept away

A wave called corona keeps all at bay

Yet with vaccine and caution may

We creep out of cocoon adept

REMBERING PEACHES AND A VACATION

In the bigness of the Apple city

Walking down some street

Where fruit sellers are

I stop to purchase

Peaches

Seen them in the movies before

Read them in books before

And now here i am in NY city

Buying Peaches

Reaching indoors

I wash them

And bite into a yummy hidden yellowness

My first taste of

Peaches

I eat them every day

What's a vacation for

If not to eat

Peaches

When i return home where

Summer cyah done

There will be watermelons

Green variegated thick skins

And sweet crunchy red flesh

I will keep cool then, eating

Watermelon slices.
