Up with the squirrels,

out with the dog, keeps me in

shape during this break.

We can help create

the new normal by voting

for reason and care.

Knock, knock, who’s there? Knox.

Knox who? It’s the pits. No Bull.

I need a home too.

                                                  JDG

When mind and heart take

off on an anxious journey,

writing guides me home.

Can’t meet in Rumi’s 

field when a wall of harsh words

restricts our access.

                                                      JDG

If we were able

to transform the noise into

music, we could dance.

                                           JDG

The sun made a brief

appearance before it bade

us a warm farewell.

                                            JDG

After a word filled

day, I sigh and breathe the

sweet air of silence.

                                          JDG

Ah…corn does thrive in

fields and conversations this

quarantined July.
