Count your blessings
In this time when we are continually being assaulted with bad news because of the pandemic, climate change, and the wrong doing of people who should really know better, count the things you are thankful for. I find this a productive way to bring the positives back into my life. Keep it under a 1000 words and it doesn't matter what form you decide to use. I'll read them all and pick a winner in a couple of weeks.
Bar Talk
the way we sing
ice ice baby
the back beat an ecstasy
when i said
this bar is
pumpin’
and i meant poppin’
the comedy shows
behind the microphone
jack and cokes
laughing away the unknown
one day i’ll find a mask
in my coat pocket
shrug and drop it
