SHU TWENTY TWENTY - A FOLD

Should be shove out bad ole twenty twenty?

Go! on be on your way,  go! shu shu git,

A year of novel ways,  and sorrows aplenty;

Distances magically widened beyond belief,

Who'll raise a cheer to bad ole twenty twenty?

Now everyone is a superhero, wearing a mask;

Tsk, tsk, a world of sad sameness made so easy;

Coughing and sneezing are things of the past,

So are hugs and kisses, though this might seem petty,

But oh! this is  the way we must strive and survive,

We'll surely remember, this bad ole twenty twenty?

SEASON OF COVID 19  - A FOLD
In a long season of pandemic,
Joy of a Christ child interrupts;
A great comfort this is, no polemic.
Welcome savior, welcome Emmanuel.
For in this long season of pandemic,
We need, more so now, the strength  of love;
And a measure of hope than can merit,
The healing, from a plight that overshadows,
Light of wisdom and survival endemic;
Too long, too long now this season of pandemic.

NOTE:

An inglenook (Modern Scots ingleneuk), or chimney corner, is a recess that adjoins a fireplace. The word comes from ingle, meaning "fireplace" in Old English (from Old Scots or Irish aingeal, "angel" or euphemistically "fire"), and nook.

AND

Some Prosery CheerPrompted to include in a bit of prose limited to 144 words this lineReading what I have just written, I now believe–Louise Gluck, from Faithful and Virtuous Night

BEAUTIFUL MOONThe moon is beautiful a Japanese writer once intimated, to say I love you. Sitting here, alone in my back yard, watching another rounded moon, i remember the times i said that to you, those precious words about our moon, not knowing of its Japanese metaphor.I feel its presence now, this beautiful moon. Its shapeshifting moodiness and its brilliance are all a part of  me.Alone, i  look up and somehow i do not feel lonely. A heart that loves feels longing, But is never lonely.Reading what I have just written, I now believe.© gillena cox 2020

BLURSDAYS: A SEVENLING

Every Blursday  birds sing at the appointed time

The same tune "wake up to a new day"

Don't these critters know its Blursday

Phase zero of lockdown days

Sun rises, sun sets 

Quiet streets rock the sonorous silence 

Early hand washing crazy corona days

© gillena cox 2020

NOTES

# The ABCD image contains some of the given words i found striking, though i only used Blursday in my poem today.

##While we here in T&T are no longer in  complete LOCKDOWN, Blursday is a reflection of that phase of our dealing with Covid 19.

He wears his tux so handsomely. And she just meeting his sholders, in her glass stilletos. They pledge their love with romantic songs, now that the church binding part is done. 
Games, speechs, dinner. The clink of glasses to toast the Mr and Mrs. Meeting the guests, all RSVP. And the wedding waltz.
We leave the wedding hall well pleased. A long line of traffic is expected  for a public holiday. Its been an awesome day surely

Monday WRites 272

Saturday 14th here in T&T was a holiday. Divali The Festival of Lights observed by the Hindu community. Divali is well embraced into our society so that non Hindus as well participate in the celebration by way of greetings, and in simple ways such as cusine, clothing and going out to see the lights. On the street where i live, this has been a large as life neighbourhood event in pre Covid years embracing persons from other parts of the country and as well foreigners to the event. This year 2020, sadly because of The Covid 19 protocols there was no visible signs of the Festival, street lighting, or visits to our street.
