Ways to Defy Covid-19

 



Poetry below appears in  -  Literature Today (Volume 11) The issue focused on the theme of "Pandemic" and the artistic expressions of the phase humanity is going through.

 

 

Summer Ponies

 

In palomino light

summer ponies 

defy Covid-19

to dapple the sky

whipping tails

until unbridled night

races into the sky

   nickering. 

       tossing

            his ebony mane

 

 

Morning Glory

 

Time to stop for nature’s miracles

without worries of the virus news.

 

While many require evening news

the morning glory never worries.

 

She ignites from the earth,

to shine with each morning’s dew.

 

Rises to her scents of awakening

to flare violet into a twirl.


Survival Skills


Defy the Covid-19 monster

and its forced gravity

Let challenges enliven

a dance through sequined night

trusting the soul

beyond the parched desires 

of fear's circling moths

Seek Freedom

with toe taps by the sea

fired by a hunter's moon.
