An ark would be an interesting option - until one inhabitant showed signs of Covid19?! Extinction might result? Love the p poetic form for this offering. ♥

It has, indeed, passed the 40-day mark. The mask in the first poem sounds lovely.

I love the convergence of the mask and a haiku and the mention of an ark we might need to get on.

Adelaide said...

love all your art, collages, and photos.

If vaccinated, we don't have to wear a mask, but I am keeping my masks handy.

A mask made from fabric gifted by a friend adds a layer of protection, methinks.

Happiest Sunday, Gillena.

I love "rain past the 40th day". Suggests a need for a quick solution.

I like both of your offerings, Gillena. The first hints at how the pandemic has separated us and yet united us. The second makes me wish for an ark of safety for everyone.
