reality is
harsh in our pandemic time --
light candle for us
Reality can easily discourage us at this time, and somehow we try to see ways to cope and survive.

Your poem is well-written, thoughtful, timely, and descriptive of the prevalent mindset nowadays. Those who claim not to be affected--well, I wonder . . . Light drives out darkness(Bible).

Although I agree with all of this wonderful poem, "reality is harsh" gets me the most as it sets up the rest and then the ending is a great gesture, and yes an yes an excellent suggestion, very well written****kahpot

It's hard enough to face the consequences of being in a pandemic free world as it is, but this adds a complication worse that it possibly be Gypsy. Well done, an excellent job, blessings Roy

I simply cannot "spend" my weekly six stars so early--as I did last week! Still--consider this a virtual six star poem. Such turmoil in our world! Such untimely deaths! A perfect offering for each of us... Karenina

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 haiku in addition to the multi-author Renga book. A very thought idea to light a candle for all of us to be safe from the virus that is going around.

Times are tough and we will need resilience to survive and thrive again. Hope springs eternal. Nice addition to the book. It seems to be attracting more contributors.

Yes, it is doing well. The two chapters before mine were going way of course so I tried to bring it back.
Thank you very much for your review and kind words.

We need all the prayers we can get, my take on your poem is religious. It made me feel like we all need to light candles. God is the higher power we need to guide science to getting a cure. Lord knows the president can't help.

You're right, the president is useless. I tried to keep it interfaith.
