SENSE OF WONDER By Polly Guerin

The wee hummingbird came

Early morning waw his game

Fairy wings fluttering aloft

Flower to Flower he sought

I watched with a sense of wonder

The wonderous creature's plunder

Enraptured by the lilliputian's skill

Astonished I admired the thrill

Of nature's intricate dance

Could be missed in a glance

A showman so delicate, so rare

I looked for him eadh morning fair

What joy he brought each day

Toss concerns away in play

So I ventured into the world today

And spread my wings with play.

 

ADIEU TO JUNE 2021 By Polly Guerin

June splashed into summer

Rainstorms were a bummer

Thunderbolts shocked June

She entered with wet gloom

We zoomed here and there

Then sunlight came so rare

Father's day paid homage to men

And Pride Month was on the mend

Justice echoed through the nation

Juneteenth for emancipation

They marched nationwide to protest

New York put through the outcry test

The solstice summer did shout out loud

We wore summer shorts in the crowd

The dawning of a brand new day

Made us wish June's troubles away

For everything good comes in July

With a sunshine golden glow reply. 

 

OPTIMISTIC: By Polly Guerin

Now that the pandemic is winding down

It's time to discard that downcast frown

A cheerful attitude goes a long way

To put a little magic into every day

Decide to give your attitude a boost

Release restraints and now cut loose

Dance to the positive rhythm of life

You've come a long way from strife

Life gives new opportunity for growth

Recall your fondest dreams and note

Like the changing seasons you recreate

Now is the time to begin, it's never too late

To evolve into a higher version of yourself

With an optimistic outlook recharge and grow.
