“I do not wish to hide my origins, I am what I am” ~ Unknown . The weekend challenge from “Weekly Prompts” is: What Is It ? Please go and visit their fabulous site by clicking >>HERE … Below is my response to the prompt, and maybe my poem slightly deviates from the prompt. But “what is it”, about this ‘virus’, that has so many unanswered questions ?
Full Circle
Autumn leaves are falling
But there you are, stoically flowering
Despite a dry season of suffering
You’re proudly alive and thriving
What is it?
Is it a notion? To defy nature’s calling
What is it?
Is it a potion? To boost surviving
Are you the antidote?
For healing the dying
Have you an answer?
To resurrecting the living

One For You, and One For Me
Happy birthday dear
A toast to you, here’s cheers
One for you, and one for me
That’s the way it will always be
Thanks for the memories
From here, to eternity

today there’s menacing trouble
one day we’ll fly out of our bubbles
hopefully people’s profanity
and selfish insanity
will cease after the matinee
and they’ll resurrect humanity
there shall be more grief
but there will be relief
when love will grow closer
between barriers and the waiter
in my courtyard you’ll exist
in the green leaves of hope
in my heart you’ll exist
in the hum of my souls hope

My poem ‘You Cannot Shoot or Electrocute It’ is published at “The Lockdown Journal” and thank you to the editor Mona for accepting my poem….
You Cannot Shoot Or Electrocute It
And I hear the great white bear continue to lie
You cannot shoot it
Nor can you electrocute it
I cannot hear your bullets blazing
Nor can your bombs do the erasing
Your insincere words cannot stop it
Nor can your falsehoods hide it
I cannot see your pain and fears
Nor can I see your sympathetic tears
Your money keeps you safe in the ivory tower
But will your money send the people flowers

This afternoon I had the glorious pleasure of being presented with gorgeous gift from a lovely client. In these tough times of turmoil and tragedy, today was an uplifting moment for me, when I was given a framed card of appreciation, that truly warmed my heart and deeply touched my soul.
A Card For the Plumber/Poet: A Senyru*
Gifts from my client
Thoughtfully sincere and kind
Treasured by my heart
*A Senryu, the same format as a Haiku, and it portrays the characteristics of human beings and psychology of the human mind.

Yesterday was warm and sunny
But the streets and parks were empty
And I casually walked my path quietly
When last night anxieties faded, I slept soundly
This morning is chilly and cloudy
But I’m here to visit the new day loudly
I’ll listen to the birds singing proudly
And I’ll see the busy ants dancing wildly
