Poetry for Change
Absolutely honored that I was chosen as a few of the poets who participate continuously. The prompts are always challenging and a joy to participate in, as I let my imagination take flight.

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
Having my family around me is heavenly, as I’m surrounded by their smiles and ‘optional’ hugs (i say they’reoptional, but really, they’redemanded.) All of those start my dau right, but only after a quiet cup of coffee, taken in solitude, with my thinking cap and following up on writing challenges and contests. Lastly, sweets come in 2 forms: happy family and chocolate! The first I have an abundance of (blessed), while the other, I either bake to assuage my sweet tooth or get a really melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bar.
These things may seem simple or taken for granted. However, I’m not one of those who does, as I believe it’s the simple things in life that give me joy. Take the time to celebrate them too, as they never last as long as you want them to.

Ceasefire NOW! chapter #6
I’m very excited about this series, as it helped me get my voice and feelings heard. It’s a very difficult time for all of us, watching the violence, degradation, death, and starvation taking place.

Picture inspired poem -exert
Skulled Doorway
The road to Heaven is paved
In squeletons, crania, gaunt roots
And bare branches surrounding the opened
Doorway to a land appearing berefts
Of all humanity, vegetation,
But the barren ground is enrobed
By blues of heavenly hues, a partition
From the deserted ground, …

Karma (exert)
All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools
For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath
Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm
Patience are rewards in themselves, …

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?
Why those 2 you ask? Well simple really, I loved playing those sports and white I watch, I feel the exhiliration of a strategically placed ball that ends up being a winner. As for ski, I can imagine feeling the speed, the wind, the icy feel of the snow, the danger of a fall, all the while embracing the beauty of the freedom it gives as you ski downhill.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
The only time I adopt the mask is when I’m sick, and I don’t wish to limit the spread of the virus I have. However, I’ve seen first year college/ university students actually move away from a handshake or hug. They’ve adapted by being less social by not knowing how to open a conversation or keep it going. More, they’ve become so afraid of covid that they’re distancing themselves from peers and using their phones more often to communicate.

Bright Darkness
The soulless soul seeps into the sewers
Hiding, in hindsight, from historic hatefulness
Heaving the heavy heart into the whole
Whose empty empathy embarks on evil’s espousal. ….
Resistance by Pen
My pen is out of breath,
Its ink seeps, like blood,
Into the world’s depth:
War, murder, violence never rest, but fed ….

Reclaim your humanity.
Reclaim your biology.
Reclaim your nature.
Reclaim your compassion.
Reclaim your imagination.
Reclaim your wonder.
Reclaim your freedom for all. …

WORLD POETRY DAY
Double acrostic
Wondrous words Whirl around and
Over a reality created by wOrlds in images, that are
Readily available foR consumption,
Leading to leveling the fieLd of wonder
Down into a frozen Dream filled with rhyming
Poetic world made up of a Plethora
Of offerings of a utopian bOunty imagined by an
Eternal imagination nevEr grinding
To a stop, as its renewed Tunneling to greater
Rewards as newer worlds aRe revealed
Yearning for the crY of revelations.
Drive your curiosity to conDemn the oppressing
Arm of murderers of imaginAtion who travel
Yards over supremacy overtlY conscious of the squelched word.
