Waving Away the Mask

WAVING AWAY THE MASK black-winged blackbird, flew up the flue, flu season a season away. cooing cousins school about the cruel world doubts, dreaded days of spin-about, old games of London Bridge and Ring-Around the Rosies. heated cheeks, sensor defeated - it’s merely summer plums - plump and hearty incredibly edible. savoring the sensation as my teeth tarry a wide-mouthed grin - insane how happy that makes me! 5/19/2021

I find wearing a mask a cheaper hygiene than mouthwash – in other people, I mean. It also allows me to be incognito at times. Do not feel saddled with it. / Maurice

For sure there can be unpleasantness when dealing with people full-faced but ahhh...to breathe again!

As one who enjoys "enclosed rhyme", may I say also that I enjoyed your post....and envied you those tasty plump summer plums.

Hello Kim, I heard on the news that our lockdown will now last until the middle of June. Our numbers were high today. The mask is hiding a smile, but it is not easy to smile behind the mask. God Bless Darlene

Hugs...Darlene! Who knows when that nasty mask will try to rehide our smiles. God bless you, sweet one!

Hopefully we'll soon be able to wave away those masks for good. Juicy plums you cant beat, roll on summer. Tom

The fruit that makes me happy is the summer fig. I wait for it.
