A GOOD INTENTION

I am no where near perfect,

So yes, i should resolve

To improve myself each year.


At the end of each day,

 Fold your clothes and put them away,

 No matter how tired you are.


A good resolution for this year

I LISTEN

The song birds are quiet,

Rested from their dawn thrilling,

The sky silvery with some tints.


I wake before dawn and

I choose to wait for their songs,

Before getting out of bed.


What would morning be without them?

CLEAR VIEW  a sevenling

If i am your queen

And indeed you my king

let us be the dance


Watch that scene

Over exclamations of wonder

See us a  vista clear


I am by your side

COLLECTIVE GOLIATH
There used to be a moon leading like a star would.
There used to be people, crowds of them in the auditorium park.
There used to be corn soup vendors late into the wee hours of morning.

Street festivals are a historic memorabilia.
Something kids will google with enthusiasm.
Curiosity feeding the research fire.

It took only the tiniest of living things to make of us all a collective Goliath.

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

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.

Monday WRites 231



OF TWENTY NINE DAYS
With days of unfixed number, yet
There are chocolates candy and cards,
Certain to be bought.

With all the window dressing,
Of hearts and flowers,
Romance is cleverly piqued.

Women can propose marriage - a leap year.
