Poem and photo: “Covet-19 Blues”

COVET-19 Blues

The feeling that you get,

When someone you know is let

In line in front of you.

You are not a high risk dame

Or a gunsel of the same,

But it is a crime and shame, true.

You want to get the stick,

Feel the vaccine do its trick

And tell the virus, “Screw you.”

You’ve waited patiently,

A patient you don’t want to be —

It is worse than the flu.

Then this feeling you get — mean,

Some call it COVET-19,

Because a friend beat you through.

Hey, we’re of the same young age.

We ain’t old enough to be a sage—

So screw you, too.

You say it when no one’s there.

It’s a feeling that you dare not share,

This COVET-19 Blues.

Upcoming Prom /

Your dresses are way too long. /

Anxiety, too.

Haiku and photo: “Setting”

Setting

The Earth turns away /

Receding her face from light. /

Buds hold spring within.

Haiku and photo: “Bagel”

Bagels

Some bagels are fresh. /

Others are moldy compost /

Rescued for repast.
