The symbol on the hat says it all...


Poem Artwork

Cheers 2020

 

Pour me

A double shot of pandemic

A cupful of chaos

A goblet of doubt

A flask of seclusion

A cask of irritating masks

A stein of depression

A chalice of suspicion

A barrel of isolation

A glass of shattered dreams

A beaker of regulations

A bottle of loneliness

A jug of resentment

A flagon of fear

A decanter of doom and gloom

A mugful of sickness

A tumbler of unease

A vessel of distress

A carafe of COVID-19

 

Pour me a stiff one

 

But don’t come too close

 

Cheers 2020

WELL...WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, CDC, ETC...WERE RIGHT. WE WERE TOLD ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS WAVE WAS COMING AND IT IS HERE. AND I'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH A VACCINE THAT HAS NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TESTED FOR LONG-TERM AFTER EFFECTS, THAT THEY PROPOSE TO INJECT EVERYBODY WITH. BUT, WE CAN ONLY FOLLOW PROTOCOL TO A 'T'(I'M NOT LIKING THE VACCINE AT ALL)...AND TRUST GOD. THANKS FOR THE SHARE, STAY SAFE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Wow Regis, Very well written. Covid-19 has taught us the importance of many things including relationships we take for granted. Thanks for writing this poem!

Your vessel is certainly overflowing with vessels. Very soon you will be able to sell the excess on eBay as having survived the great epidemic of 2020. Is that an illustration of the skyline of Manhattan? ;-)

One of the most creative views of what it's been like since last April for most of us. Liquor stores are one of the businesses that has prospered with a great deal more drinking going on even though for most of us, it is at home. Even me with my frugal tea totaling ways, am asking for my wine glass filled to the top while consuming way more snacks than usual.

I'll drink one with yee once more, me buddy while the night is still young maybe all be free to mingle when the dawn comes again. That until then we'll click glasses in the virtual way, and head for the pub on that glorious day.

You summed it up beautifully! Now let's hope that 2020 hasn't been a warm up to 2021...

Oh, Regis! I understand and know how you feel! We are at a lockdown here again in Toronto. No joking! No restaurants are opened, no theatres, no gym, no parks either!!! People work an 8-hour-day, go home to having nothing for entertainment. We are all going towards communism. That's the way it's going to be! All work but no play. Our properties and lands will be government owned. Joe Biden has already indicated that the farmers should give up their farmlands to the government.

This is part of the Globalists' plan. Import their own breed of people into the country and give them your jobs. While you think you may be getting a good deal, getting paid $2000.00/month to stay home, but you may not get your jobs back. When the Left win there will not be any more payouts to you, and you will not be getting your jobs back. The Globalists only want their own breed of people to work. You will be left to survive on your own.

This lockdown process and the pandemic is part of the planned process. It is very difficult to some people who live alone. No matter what you do, the loneliness would eventually creeps up on you. I am fortunate to have my daughter here with me, so we are keeping each other company. I hope you are keeping yourself well and safe. Keep a healthy diet. Continue on your exercising and bicycling which you may meet some neighbours. I hope this helps.

Sandie

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
