The world is in turmoil Hospital beds full The cup of dreams falls empty With anxiety comes the screams Hurricanes ripping apart homes Humanity hugging their very bones Uphill is the climb with the pill As penguins dance in the clouds Comfort found in tiny places With friendships laughter abounds Today I smile as the night turns to day Realization, oh! laughter's sway I went to home And counted to seven Normality is back As I dance in the rain With friends by my side I wave away all the Pain

Gosh, I REALLY really like this one, Arthur. Was it inspired just by the picture? or is it also for a contest?

Wave away the pain. I love this poem, with that cute picture. The poem has this penguin's approval. Makes me smile broadly.
