Healing
We met on my morning walk one day last week when I was feeling especially sorry for myself. I stopped to gauk. He just walked right by. Looks like he might have had a run in with that cat crossing at the crosswalk. City life.

Courage
the energy of the city
takes an ominous turn
to the trenches of the hospitals
the staff does battle with an insidious enemy – courage reins

A Gogyohka
For Eugi’s Weekly Challenge where the word is ” Courage”
Times Square
No one left and no one came on the bare platform
The energetic buzz is at a ghostly halt
Gone is the mad rush, missing is the human storm
Beating heart of the city, with no rhythm to flaunt

Ended up practicing my couplets instead of being true to the prompt*.
Linking to OLN over at dVerse Poets Pub
*Loosely based on the prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub where Sarah is hosting. She asked for prosery..a flash fiction piece with no more than 144 words. the following line to be included in the prose:-
“No one left and no one came on the bare platform”.
The lines are lifted from Adelstrop by Edward Thomas.
To read more about the poet and the prompt or to participate (it might be too late for that) here.

Ring-A-Ring-O-Roses!
I think it’s safe to say not enough is known about the corona virus. Is it airborne or contact or is it both? Also, it feels like there is a true “Typhoid Mary” element to this.
Does the strategies to contain this carry a hint of “ring a ring o roses, pocket full of posies…”?
We are flailing in the wind. There are believers and non believers. As the politicians do battle, argue, verbally assault each other – it does what it does. Kill people!
