Blockade Lift
They wanted the grain
Putin's ships stood in the way
And needed sinking immediately
They lifted the Russian naval blockade
Of Ukrainian ports with NATO warships
So the world wouldn't starve
Millions of tons of grain and wheat
This was the way forward
But Putin had other ideas
He was losing on land
And in the sky so badly
Ukraine was fighting for freedom
Putin hated NATO and the West
He launched his nuclear toys
Hitting the NATO ships and carriers
With torpedoes missiles rockets and more
All nuclear winning this battle
But losing everything when NATO
Hit Russian bases with their nukes
Thus setting in turn Armageddon
Dooming us all to varied deaths
It was a matter of fact
This would end bad
In so many ways
Nobody won World War 3
Nobody ate the freed grain
We were all dead
On facing blockade, simply smile
The universe tests us
Smell the roses and rest awhile
Flow easy without fuss
View ego urge askance
Make erect soulful stance
Live thus in nonchalance
Outcomes to rest laid
On facing blockade

Quietus
The brick wall that kept the dogs in
Also caused them to make a din
Whenever the cat would run or walk across the wall
But the bricks were much too tall
for them to reach that furry feline ball
The nimble cat would pay them no mind
She knew the dogs couldn't jump that high
They would bark and growl and even sigh
At this creature of the feline kind
The cat with coat of gray and white
always found great delight
Whenever she walked across those bricks
And watched those mutts perform their jumping tricks
Once in a while she'd stop and take a bow
And give the canines a great big meow

Title of Painting: Blockade runner
My mind is cloudy
And seeming to tighten
Flashes if anguish
Pain, torment and loss
Overtake my life
Nothing is easy
Not even Denial
Must push through this
Through the blockade of indifference
