I am writing poems, in this viral seclusion we all face, that are based on words given to me by friends and family on the facebook. I forgot to post yesterday, and for that I apologize. I wrote two poems then and here they are.
First up, a poem based on the word lachrymal
“Lachrymal”
Do not fear to cry
In uncertain times.
Unleashing the dam
Often provides a cleaning
Like you’ve seldom felt.
In fact: Gandalf said tears are good,
A briny catharsis for the soul.
I think, then, that lachrymal therapy
Is prescribed.
And a double haiku, based on tiger
“Tiger”
Orangeblack stripes gleam,
Tiger sees no cage-no bars:
Free beneath bright stars.
If you, in contrast,
Feel trammeled inside today:
Embrace the tiger!
I hope you enjoy.
