Enjoy Now Each Morn

The year half gone, from now on, just enjoy each dawn-
so much has been lost, due to the cost virus tossed.
Just waiting around, then we found life grew confound-
all alone, end unknown, and bad news, still bemoan.
With places closed, transposed are we and are supposed
to get along, remaining quite strong, right or wrong!
We must now accept and adjust though feeling thrust
into sad ways and delays that now build dismays.
Just when will we again, live good days- until then
can't be forlorn  by this thorn- enjoy now each morn.

the meters/patterns/sequence you've keenly observed in the
poem below, provided by sponsor:

The way we meet, kiss and greet feels intense but sweet
he paints my town red, softens my bed while I’m fed
each other we give, then we live; so I believe
from my store, he gets more but repays with a sore
when love abound, its sound may cause a turn around
his touch I need, but he wants to breed: Love indeed!
Caesar who  consumes the pizza  still feels bizarre
Bossy like dad, makes me sad, yet doesn’t feel bad
Blind hen pricked with a pen, wasted years, now at ten
I’ve stopped his drone, I’m so grown, my life now my own.

A big big congratulations for this feat. I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.
