In the days of corona,
quarantining at your cottage as far as Barcelona
to small quaint towns of Arizona or Sedona.
wherever you are
a good time for some cornmeal porridge
able to keep your stomach storage
full. Since shelter in place,
may make it easier to embrace
and schmooze or snooze.
So if you ever leave your chateau.
as you check off keys, ID, money
make sure you include masks
to do those essential tasks.
Outside in the summer heat,
wearing your mask, you can’t walk a beat
without stopping to quench your thirst
with a water bottle.
Once you have nursed
yourself from feeling lethargic.
Time to head home and take in a zoom call
as you relax with tea and above all
sleep until a new day cometh.

This is so good. I love when I’m surprised by how the prompt plays out. The opening is very strong.
Thank you. I have decided to edit and work on some of the poems from this marathon! Also, do you and jacob want to contribute to my dad’s 70th birthday poetry book?
