Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Things You Miss

A thing I'd never seen before
A spider dwelt above my door,
Him or his web I'd never seen
Until we all got quarantined.

Things you miss, you never see,
For more than half the time you're out,
Now that we are stuck indoors
We can sit and look about.

The funny quirks my dog displays
Nooks and crannies come to light,
In the slow lane, time to look
At things oft hid from fleeting sight.

Caren Krutsinger April 9, 2020 at 5:33 PM "Things you miss, you never see," - this is so telling and reminds me of all the things I have noticed lately I had never cared to make note of before these past few sequestered shelter-in-place weeks. Gary Smith April 10, 2020 at 5:50 AM Thank you Caren. :)

Connie Marcum Wong April 2, 2020 at 8:33 PM It is so true. I have been cleaning much more and am not bored because I have too much to do. Time is passing quickly for me. I will have to post my poem if it fits the contest rules. Stay safe Gary. xxoo Gary Smith April 3, 2020 at 6:23 AM Thank you Connie. :)
