All having agreed with what is acceptable.

rush blurry eyes
Pigeons came a calling

She was a willowy creature,
lithe and svelte.

Her fangs were deep set
and hardly showed
but once in a blue moon.

Blown by the soft breeze yield
Downy petals flow malleable

Brave pressures of nature designed to be able
Designed by God is very good acceptable
Sturdy stems golden scented center

when you are gliding
just is as smooth as silk.

Acceptable risks go rogue,
easy-street gets bumpy;

beware then
for there are gopher holes,

socially 
acceptable

to lose the 
game of 
societal
charades 
that we play 
every single

There are messes upon messes upon messes here.
This is why I am not eager or excited about having people over.
Luckily, we feel no need to entertain or go anywhere.

Thank you, pandemic for one teensy favor.
Too bad my husband is coughing up a lung today....

The night has arrived quite dark
The rain has just passed
Midnight has struck, a puddle
Spreads on pavement dressed
By the light beyond
Harken the lamp does express
Water on the ground
