Some poems if I may - 2. Chapter 2

All of these are delightful in different ways.  Number 6 pleased me with its ironic humor.  Seven was a great way of describing the interactions of humans with nature.  Eight, though beautifully written was so sad, especially the last two lines.  I felt like crying.  Nine immediately turn my feeling to rage.  It provoked the teacher in me to realize how stupid some folks are to ban books.  I read that in many areas recently, school plays are now suffering from the same bans.  The last poem was again very ironic and humorous.  Thanks for writing and sharing these, Adi!

@raven1 thank you for taking the time to comment on every poem. I'm glad you liked them. 

Evocative poems, Adi. I don't think we are ever prepared to be diagnosed with covid. It's a surreal feeling. I'm not a fan of grocery stores, so using outside pickup for mine is a remnant of the pandemic I like.

#8 speaks to my routines. I touch the same trees on my walks in my woods, and I sit in the same place if I sit at all. Wonderful, and sad. I don't like to see things change is such profound ways, yet I trim trees all the time.  

#9 is maddening. Culture wars are fed by bigotry and ignorance. Imagine being ignorant in this day and age. Mortifying. 

Thanks for the journey, Adi. Cheers!

#10! Rest in power kitty kitty.

Number 8 echoed in my heart and brain, reverberating like a sad song in a great cathedral. It stood out to me. But re-reading number 7, my feet twitched, as if I wanted to dance for sheer delight in springtime, which has been too long in coming this year. Number 9 makes me frown, as I abhor the kind of book-banning and library censorship we're going through now. Thank you for posting these, as they brought a smile to my face.

I was fascinated with all of them.  But the banned books one got to me.  As a former library worker, I abhor book banning.

Number eight reminded me of some trees we had to cut because two fell on our house and one almost fell on it.  We liked the trees -- until we had to spend thousands to fix the roof.

Thank you for writing these.

Yes, this must be hard for you.  Thank you, for your comment, Paul. I'm delighted that you said you were fascinated.
