Her husband
And
Children
Away

At home
She
Decided to
Stay

Finally
Having
Her
Way

Stretched out
On
The bed she did
Lay

Binging on
Chick flicks
All
Day

Feeling
Lighthearted
And
Gay

Not caring
The price
She might
Pay

The atmosphere
Was
Electric

In anticipation
Of
A special evening

As musicians
Warmed up
On stage

And patrons
Filed in
To take their seats

Everyone
Flashing maskless
Smiles

For
The first time
In ages

Trivial

They had thought
Long
And hard

About how best
To use

Their
COVID stimulus
Money…

Squirrel it away
For
The next rainy day

Some
Special gifts
For the grandkids…

The possibilities
Were
Endless

But drinking in
The sun drenched
Panoramic view

They knew
They had made
The right choice

Investing in
Their own peace of mind
For a change

With This Selfie I Thee Unwed

When selfies

Of smiling
Recently divorced couples

Were trending on
Instagram some time ago

The thought occurred

Relationships

With so little
Emotional investment

Were likely
On shaky ground

From day one

When he invited her in and she saw what he was displaying
out in the open in his living room, she immediately knew……

He was a man
With
A tender
Heart

Involved in
The community
Doing his
Part

Always quick
To
Lend a helping
Hand

Never
Purporting
To be
Grand

Not inclined
From responsibility
To
Dart

Someone she would
Fall for
Right from the
Start
