Summer Is Here
Covid be gone
summer is here
I've more important
things to do
and now, no fear
just listen
hear the winds howl,
gust and blow
hot air above one hundred
sweltering and sultry beyond
words
Covid be gone
it's too beautiful to be pallid
the waves crash
whitecaps on an evergreen
sea
so just leave me be
palm trees wave
but never sway
their trunks stand tall,
even in a squall
or hurricane come this fall
flowers are bright
as the bee's light
hear the bird song
the frogs' croak
nature, so full of hope
Covid be gone
it's time you departed
for regions unknown
health and happiness
God's promise, our own.

Such a great hopeful, positive poem. Well written.
I really, really hope that Covid leaves your building. Permanently and soon.
Hi Renee - lovely ... I so wish it would disappear ... a poem we need to read and appreciate - take care and with thoughts - Hilary
It is fading but still keeps mutating. Get outdoors in the fresh air to escape it!
I want COVID to be gone too. Thanks for sharing your poem.
COVID just keeps going - on and on! I hope you are feeling well enough to get some sun.
Yes, Covid be gone...governments and many people would like to believe it's fading, but no, here in Australia we're having the coldest winter and people are dropping like flies with the new variants of Covid, the flu, and RSV. So far have managed to avoid Covid, but it's probably just a matter of time. As Alex said, get outside. By the beach is a healthy place to avoid Covid or in your case, to recuperate. I hope both you and hubs are over the worst. Love you.
