Yep, those days of not wearing a mask sound like a distant past. Nicely captured!

Beautiful! Both poems speak so clearly of the distance between then and now. Hope things begin to improve there soon!
Perfect haiku. You captured the present crisis in just a few words.

Wise and beautiful words dear Gillena. Thank you for joining us at the Muse! Have a safe and lovely week my friend.
those were the days, doing stuff without a mask.
loved your cherita too.
Stay safe! over here the infection rate is going up again, after months of low or no infections. any higher and we may have another lockdown too.
I remember our unmasked days... Today, they feel like a story that happened to someone else.
I love the cherita. And the fact that it rhymes made me giggle.

Things are good here but we still wear a mask. I'll be happy when we can remove them for good but for now I will keep wearing it.
So sorry it's lockdown again. Maybe you should take your kits to some little-visited spot and fly it high with your mask removed. Let your spirit fly with the kite for a bit!

I'm pretty sure that we'll fly kites again someday without having to wear masks. In the meantime, be safe!
I think it's going to be a long time before Covid is in our rear view... Good take on the prompt image.
Masks will probably be around for awhile. I don't mind that, especially if it keeps people safe.

I do agree. Its keeping us safe. I do not have a problem with wearing the mask.

Certainly many people will be looking back to all sorts of things with nostalgia. Kite flying seems a particularly delightful possibility.
Well hopefully we will keep our distance but thgre are so many fools in denial that ignore the advice.
We don't walk or fly kites where there are people close. If we meet walking, at least one party will get over onto the grass. Bicycle riders don't like to ride in the grass though.
..
I love the little hint of nostalgia in your haiku, Gillena, and that the kiskadee is still singing in your poetry. it’s a bank holiday over here today – it’s Monday morning – so I will wish you much love and a successful week!

Hopefully we are nearing the end of such a procedure Gillena.
Happy you dropped by Rob, We are in another lockdown so it seems not.

Oh, live with a mask makes us treasure those days when we didn't have to wear one. May they come to us again soon.
One step at a time is the best way out of Covid-19 restrictions, eh/ Be patient and keep healthy, m'dear.♥
