Monday WRites 323


November is here. Happy  month of November to all visiting. 
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 # 323: A Happy Monday to all. Be Safe.

Closing in on the end of 2021
To write a quadrille using the prompted word - careen

❧✿❧
Quadrille - Careen
This year swiftly steals by enmasked.
Still hidden are smiles to public guise
We careen felled by a virus 
Unpredictable as the internet
Cruel as an angry storm 
Our unsteady wobbly legs learned
That walking was a gift of  
Going places and getting up close

    Boy isn't that the truth! Oh yes....we did indeed careen through emotions, news, fear, and so many emotions with Covid....most especially in those early days.
    Excellent use of the word careen here!

    Ironically, secondary to my impaired balance, even when Covid will be in the rear view mirror, I will still have wobbly legs and will be careening everywhere.

    Wonderful use of the word here Gillena. Indeed, Covid has thrown us all.

    I love a good reminder of how far we have come with the pandemic. Missing those walks, window shopping and hugs.

    Here for the Quadrille, and just wanted to say I miss normal life, too. People's smiles, or even the ability to see their facial expressions. Sigh.
