Safe greeters
At two meters
Or at many miles
Will still bring smiles.
To stay in touch
It means so much,
And in spite of distance,
Gives warmth and such.
Rhymes for sharing
Can show our caring
Connecting and asking
How an other’s faring.

Sunday Haiku
crusted windshield ice
that part of spring is not nice
warm sun will melt it
Yes, I can attribute some of my difficulty to atrophied arm muscles, but yesterday’s snow had crusted into a two-inch layer of ice which was as difficult to chip away as I’ve ever seen. If I had not turned on the car and the defroster fan to high, I might still be at the effort an hour later.
Sunday Haiku
puzzled by the dawn
the darkness of night has gone
earlier wake up
Sunday Haiku
rain, maple seedlings
clear indication of spring
stay indoors all day?
Sunday Haiku
it is late, still dark
oh, wait, just a clock fiat
silly “spring forward”

Welcome
We have tried to do our best
For the Poetry Port request
And I say this with no jest:
You’re welcome to some rest.

Introspection
Stemming from some introspection,
Leading to more real reflection,
In spite of valid flaw detection,
I’ve decided to avoid dejection.
Though I recognize my limitations
While planning every day’s creations,
Finding words from many nations,
And sharing them with illustrations.
It’s a simple contribution
And you’re welcome it to shun
But for me, it’s a good solution
To the routine need for elocution.
(CLMOOC Poetry Port Day 28 – introspection)
Diversity
I went to a university
Where there was adversity
Which came from academic challenges
Not from student diversity.
Working hard to learn my stuff
Did not require being gruff
As a matter of positive fact
Diversity of help was barely enough
To keep me from one-sided thinking
Or from going out often for drinking
Thank god for that broad range
Full of cultural mixing.
(Poetry Port Day 27)
Prepared
Prepared
You have the confidence
That you can pay your rents
And climb all the hills
So to pay off your bills.
But what would it take
Your certainty to break
What kind of mistakes
Would jam on the brakes?
On whom could you depend
If you had no cash to spend
What if your life depends
On the kindness of friends
Who would pick up the slack
So that you’d get back on track?
Do you have a village in which you live
To which you, too, can preemptively give?
(CLMOOC Poetry Port Day 26 – Confidence)
Joy
Giving up on eating meat?
Taking up the vegan seat?
Drinking only milk from soy?
Could that bring the earth more joy?
(Poetry Port Day 25)
