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 #294: A Happy Monday to all. Be Safe.

Quadrille #126
– Come “bother” up a poem

❧✿❧


Quadrille - Bother
I shudder at the thought
why bother to announce
such a disaster, the old woman lost her shoe?
and there's leftover meatloaf to  share ?
with the governor whose coming over to tea ?
paper cups should suffice ,
we'll gather in the meadow,  keeping distance safe.

  11. Very nicely done. I really like both poems. Your haibun could have fit the bill as well since those busy ants are quite bothersom!! Paper cups and leftover meatloaf for the governor! I love it!

  15. Such pretty trees, I would love to know more about how cashew nuts grow and are harvested and prepared for eating! Your poetry is fun, you are multi-talented.

  16. Gillena - I don't think I have ever seen a cashew tree. Am I correct in observing they don't grow with shells? Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

    1. The shell is on the nut on the tree. The nut is roasted to remove the shell

  21. It wasn't until I visited Brasil, did learn that the cashew nut grows on top of the fruit! A delicious fruit at that. Fun poems!
