A harvest moon appears as if to mock the sun, a sun which not so long ago had shone profoundly. The willow's branches sweep the shadows of fleeting days. I shiver in the gloaming. From Nov. 30, 2020 For Line Gauthier's 'Bite Size Poem #31' Poetry Contest Nov. 30, 2020

this is a really good little free verse, andrea, i like the opening line..i see you're in the anthology too, congrats!..i don't log into fb much any more as weird things kept happening to my comp after every visit lol vaccine is being rolled out in the uk from next week, we're the first country to get it, it fills me with horror

I am so sad for you. I heard on that horrid lying CNN station today. They are so giddy with delight for the vaccine of fright! I hope you are not forced to have it. I believe Canada will be forcing it on the citizens. To me this is horrific and I would rather die than be told what I had to put inside my body.
