        Under the soft sun's glow lambent

Love is flower of wild poppy,
Vivid as colorful butterfly,
Upbraiding love signify,
Animosity, animosity.

Love is fragrance of roses,
Throbs in the sigh as bruises,
music full of melodies,
Vital for all, vital for us.

Tight-lipped, transparent, and stuck in a mono-TV
Am I alive or dead? I don't feel pleasure nor pain
Numbness is all I can sense under the pretense
"This is for my sake"

Square-shaped deceptions bind me
A soothing night-sky dimmed the spark in my eye...

I don't think you know what a monorhyme is
a monorhyme is this
it's simple no twist
in line like a list
in sight with no mist
the mono's the is
not ist in this
yet you dismiss
rhymes of my wrist
saying mono it is
but can I insist
it's not mono like this....

The morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky
which gave me time to read and pray
The morning shown as a mono gray
later on will be time to play
to write a verse or bake a pie
The morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky...

I have to delve deeply inside my psyche for this one.
Five benefits of wearing a mask:
1.	more difficult to get mono 
2.	close talkers don’t spit in your mouth any more
3.	you don’t have to use mouthwash or brush your teeth
4.	you can hide an uncomfortable frozen smile when someone is stupid
5.	Meth users can happily smile....

Now that I have Mono, I am told to rest
So I may write more, but it won't be best
Another month, they think I'll be sick
Hopefully healing will come quick
With words released in resting time
Whether free verse, another or rhyme,
It's not easy lengthy hours being still
But continuing to create, I will

I tried a mono rhyme,
but ended up with mumps;
I tried a nursery rhyme,
but mother goose got bumps.
Just when you cinqku got it,
you choka big one down.
Your ode is not so epic;
that rondel won’t come ‘round.
I tanka guy I met here,
Encouraged verse d’light.
Haikudos on your placement;
What I Believe’s just right....
