Trying to Keep the Glass Half Full

Poetry, Uncategorized

I’m trying really hard to stay positive as the news gets grimmer and grimmer. The Delta variant and now Afhanistan on top of everything else. A good friend of mine gave me the prompt “unprecedented” to write about. We’ve been hearing a lot of that word lately. Here’s my take….

Unprecedented

temperatures

draught

wildfires

storms

flooding

hospitalizations

deaths

homelessness

violence

misinformation

division

threats to our democracy

pollution

extinctions

PLEASE

can we all come together

sacrifice

give

work for the common good

for this nation

this world

this planet

that would be

unprecedented

  2. Yes, Alanna, I think we’re all feeling that way – writing, art, friends, walking in nature, all help us to know how much goodness there still is, and how showing up is something we can do. Hugs to you.
