the covid situation is not much better over here, but certain restrictions have been lifted, perhaps too early.

The new normal!
Love the idea of Narcissus being a warning (or another separation between people/animals) as the wolf drinks. We're just starting to get out and about here--it's weird that I worry about people being angry that we're wearing masks (although everyone behind the counter is wearing them). Unsettled is the new normal, I suppose.
Happy you dropped by, Rosemary

I love that last line Gillena! It really draws one into the image. Lovely!
I love the wolf drinking of himself.
I'm rather glad you have lockdowns under the circumstances. My grocery stores all have signs stating masks are required, but they quit enforcing it! A couple asked for masks at one the other day, to be told the store was "out." It's up to stores now, we don't have to wear them in most places.
They've relaxed the COVID restrictions quite a bit here, in New York City. But many of us still wear our masks, and I am glad for that. I think things get better in T&T, too.

Interesting viewpoint.
What a cool Sijo! Happy Sunday.
Beware of drinking in ones own reflection
Most restrictions here have been lifted here, but many still wear masks in the big box stores and smaller stores have their own rules. I carry a mask in my purse at all times. I hope things get better for you there soon.
How we hoped Covic would be over in a year but it is still with us. Even Australia's largest city Sydney is in lockdown.

Over and over again we are reminded that the pandemic is far from over. Masked faces are one such reminder.
Yes indeed.

I wish more would keep wearing masks.
Love your Muse poem .... well penned indeed.
Hang in there Gillena...it will end one day. Take care in this difficult time..
We are mask free here and things are back to somewhat of a normal. Hope it lasts.
"reflections are tricky nymphs" is a great phrase

I like your take on the image and also like how the "manipulation" of the image reflects the manipulator. Creative!
