It
Appears
That,
Still
Alive,
I Will
Survive
Evil
2020,
Year
Of
Plenty
Of
Lies
And
Violence,
And
Of
A
Ghastly
Silence
From
Those
Elected
To
Protect
Us.
Fight
On!
Keep
Hope
For
2021.

I Recently
Read
Scientists
Have
Said
That
All
The
Alien
Races
Are
Dead.
Too
Late
To
Make
A
Fuss,
It
Turns
Out
There’s
Only
Us.
Some
Say
They
Blew
Themselves
Away,
While
Other’s
Claim
That
To
Their
Shame,
They
Wasted
All
They
Had
In
Mindless
Greed
And
Suffering,
Perished
In
Dire
Need.
What
Use
To
Fly
To
Mars
And
On
To
Distant
Stars?
It
Seems
There
Is
No
Other
World
To
Share,
And
Absolutely
No
One
There.

The

A
Trail
Of
Rippled
Wings
And
Miles
Of
Drifting
Tail.
Rare
Plumage,
Sailing
South
To
Be
Warm,
Far
From
December’s
Storm.

Mrs. G.
Admired
Her
Christmas
Tree,
Faithful
Pets
At
Her
Knee.
Needless
To
Say,
No
One
Was
Coming
Today,
But
What
The
Hell,
The
Turkey
Was
Swell,
Enjoyed
By
The
Lady,
The
Cat
And
The
Dog,
Politely
Agog
Beside
The
Table
Set
For
One.
When
Done,
She
Addressed
Her
Furry
Friends.
“Not
To
Worry.
When
This
Virus
Ends,
And
Time
Moves
On,
We
Will
Have
Won.”

I Cannot
Grant
You
Leave
To
Rant
In
Service
To
Your
Cause,
Exhibiting
Sharp,
Poison
Claws.
You
Shout
Your
Message
Everywhere,
No
Surprise
There,
But
It
Involves
A
Multitude
Of
Lies
And
Rampant
Theft,
Reveals
A
Soul
Bereft
Of
Life,
That
In
A
Fetid
Breath
Preaches
Death.

Enclose

An

A

Memory
Perchance,
Although
Contained

Rearranged.

Ease

*Sally Rosenbaum* Thoughts To Myself
An
Old
Friend
Sent
Me
A
Poem,
And
When
I Got
Home,
I Read
What
She
Had
Said.
It
Wasn’t
Perfect,
Just
A
Few
Very
Refined
Lines,
And
My
Husband
Remarked,
“It’s
So
Much
More
Than
Nothing,”
And
The
Line
Stuck
In
My
Head.
I’ve
Written
Several
Million
Words,
But
The
Tenderest
Praise
I’ve
Heard
Was
All
In
The
Simple
Phrase
That
I Recall,
As
I Strive
To
Keep
My
Work
Alive.

To
Write,
We
Must
Carry
Our
Own
Light,
But
Words
That
Are
Right
Can
Guide
Us
Through
The
Night,
Lift
Us
From
The
Daily
Pit
In
Which
We
Sit,
Should
Time
Permit.
Otherwise,
The
Urge
Falls
Dumb,
Laboring
To
Overcome
Forces
That
Stop
Our
Speech,
Each
Hopeful
Effort
Extending
Our
Reach.

In
The
Happenstance
Of
Taking
A
Chance,
Lady
M.,
On
A
Whim,
Gave
Her
Heart
To
A
Dastard
Prince,
And
Ever
Since,
Has
Paid
The
Price,
In
That
The
Fellow
Was
Far
From
Nice.
Because
This
Is
A
Fairy
Tale,
A
Coin
Dropped
Into
A
Wishing
Well,
The
Rogue
Fell
Headfirst
From
His
Horse
And
Was
Interred
With
Scant
Remorse.
Although
It
Borders
On
Absurd,
Here
Came
Dashing
King
Goodword,
To
Carry
Our
Lady
Off
In
A
Dance,
And
That’s
The
Beginning
Of
True
Romance.

*Autumn In New York* 20" H X 16" W Acrylic On Canvas
Where
Do
You
Go
When
You
Wait?
For
The
Elevator,
Or
The
Gate,
For
Waters
To
Rise,
Then
Subside.
For
Trouble
To
Forget
You,
For
Regret
To
Flee,
To
Have
Enough
To
Go
Around,
And
For
Once,
Stand
On
Solid
Ground.
Then,
Somehow,
You
Find
The
Way
To
Make
It
Through
Another
Day.
