APRIL and POETRY MONTH....Day 26

 

 Today is Monday.  Another week begins. 
Yesterday I visited my husband. It was a nice out on the patio visit. A tad longer than the thirty minutes I’m allotted.  I did not need a stiff drink afterward, but had a milk shake instead.  Better than having a drink definitely.  
Yesterday I saw two butterflies and it triggered the poem I did.   I thought about a man giving a woman a ring in that shape.  They are in the meadow; he has a box and she’s anticipating an engagement ring.  She sees a butterfly as he open the box where inside is  a butterfly shaped ring.  It is romantic as you picture the meadow and the nature sights and sounds.  
The daily word yesterday was SUNGLASSES.  This time I wrote about lenses of the glasses and why the narrator wears different colored lenses.
I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed at the moment. It’s all that’s going on with me right now.  In fact I’m not even feeling like I want to be productive to write or have. 
It’s 3:00 and I’m awake. It’s all this stuff in my head making me wake up at odd times. I see a nap in my afternoon for sure. 
Until tomorrow....enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe.

                   BUTTERFLY 
On the old quilt under the shade 
     of the oak tree we sit 
A perfect day in June....a cloudless 
      azure sky
Slight breeze blowing rustles the leaves 
Birds tweeting above us 
    nature’s music to our ears
We sip wine making plans for
    the future 
Alone are we....no other human near
Us....the birds....the bugs....the 
   butterflies....the rabbits and squirrels 
Enjoying the wonders of Mother Nature
    in the meadow
The view of a pond....croaking of 
      frogs....chirping of crickets....
   the colorful wildflowers 
You reach into your pocket....take out a
  blue velvet box
My heart raced with anticipation 
  of what could be inside
and the question you will ask
As you open the lid....I notice a butterfly 
   flitter by
Nestled in the blue box....a silver and  
  sapphire butterfly ring
How ironic indeed

               MY SUNGLASSES 
Sunglasses block out the sun’s rays 
Many different styles I own....some       
      practical 
   some funky and cute 
All have lenses of different colors 
Depends on my mood....how I feel at 
    the moment
      which pair I’ll wear 
My rose color ones....make me see 
    things positive
The yellow optic...I see things clearly
Blue....makes a fashion statement 
But when I don the dark shades....I’m 
    hiding from the world
so no one can see the sadness in my 
    eyes

     WACKY HOLIDAYS APRIL 25th
(National Zucchini Bread Day; National 
   Hug a Plumber Day; National Pet 
  Parents Day and Red Hat Society Day)

Wearing my red hat I head outside 
 taking my dog for a stroll around the 
  neighborhood 
Carrying a loaf of zucchini bread I 
  stop at my neighbor’s to thank
   him for fixing my faucet
Social Distancing has me unable to
  hug him today
