2020. As a writer, if I can come up with ONE WORD
to describe that unprecedented year, it would be ‘inconceivable’. I remember
looking at pictures Online of images that seemed like they were straight from
some Hollywood disaster movie. For, like, twain weeks into the deadly Coronavirus
global pandemic, I felt nothing but utter shock. I was unproductive as an
artist, and I did not write ANYTHING. Question…. Can you, Blogging Friends, Readers, and Followers think of something
POSITIVE that happened during 2020? For
me? During a seemingly NEVER-ENDING year when I had to euthanize my Beautifully
Unique Beagle/German Shepherd mix, Rose, on June 15th, {and then
obviously walk through grief’s journey}, something
POSITIVE that happened to me during 2020 was the birth of my baby niece, ‘Ruby’!!
Now it is your turn. Please leave your something POSITIVE that happened during
2020 in the comments. After I got over my initial shock from COVID-19, {for the
most part}, I wrote what would end up being SEVERAL poems about Rose!! One of
my New Year’s Resolutions is to ‘publish’ Blog posts more frequently, while
also allowing myself some grace for disappearing whenever I feel like it. Happy
2021!! Peace and Love, Mary Lou

I
frequently say: ‘2020 sucks’;
So you,
Baby, sent downy-feathered ducks;
Was
this a God Wink from Doggy Heaven….
How
many signs have you sent, eleven?
I
frequently say: ‘2020 sucks’;
So you
sent a bat, and ‘she’ wished me luck;
Was
this your God Wink from The Beyond….
With
me, Babe, is it how we correspond?
I
frequently say: ‘2020 sucks’;
So you
sent a heron, and I’m awestruck;
Was
this your sign from The Afterlife….
A
Place, Rose, where there is no strife?
I
frequently say: ‘2020 sucks’;
So you
sent geese flying, honking amok;
Was
this a God Wink from The Rainbow Bridge….
Which is just my, {this Mutt Mom’s}, privilege?
