of generous girth were strumming 
their ukuleles 
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar

So my eye...

Her chilly lips kiss in crystal...

It has even their wearer’s bodies disliked,
Their forgivable flaws, their blunders hyped 
And their names and their nicknames mistyped!

Sometimes you hear, “Like onions slice them!”
And begun a solving of what...

Warm mist rain, sun starting to glow with shadows disappearing
busying myself for the day, I find the...

As the dew glistens
on the sun drenched grass
And the ducks glide on the soft, cool lake
while viewing their reflection
in nature's mirror
The winds emit a solo of an hearty hello
and delivers an everlasting 
kiss on the...

I've watched them through the lockdown
busying before my eyes,
they're not in isolation, wearing masks or sanitized.
Bimbling or bumbling, dependent on their mood
they all serve common purpose in their daily hunt for food.
No need for great...
