Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

rarity for sure
generally a six hour man
wonderful bonus

8 hours sleep
but not all at once -
4 hour shifts

new day potential
writing project promises
coddling inner prose

good friend stopped over
bottle of rum and dominoes
his quarantine done

fourteen days self imposed
just so he felt safe about a visit
it was dark and stormy

in our glass with cubes
ginger beer and some spiced rum
dominoes the game not Van Morrison

14 day safety
a true and loving friend
ginger beer cheers

friday soundtrack
ave maria velvet
intertwining chords

oh sixteen degrees
you got me chilled to the bone
how many days til spring

ten degrees
virtual hiking
at my desk

beloved teacher
inspiring by compassion
alive in our hearts

another gentle soul
floats on a carpet of love
overseeing his flock

five-day funeral
chanting, incense, singing bowl
through zoom and beyond

then we have meat loaf
infamously heard saying
if I Die, I Die

I'm sick of all this
pandemic shit, I wonder did he
really feel that way

my morning haiku
too sad to leave the nest
lingers awhile

as the sun still sits
my heaven shall remain fixed
within my minds breadth

two ways to begin
with fear and worry
or with smiles and ease
