Yvette,
This peom reminds me of Alice in wonderland as the artwork does too.
But these times with corona virus are just as crazy and different. Writing is always cathartic.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

You're welcome, Yvette.
I like the season change for Summer to Fall. The colors are so pretty and the coolness is welcome.

Good morning Yvette
Well... where do I begin! lol
This is a wonderful Carolesque piece that sends your reader not only dizzy, but spellbound by its absurdity.
I would like some of that you were on whilst conjuring up this super and refreshing little read. :)
Much love

Comment from Jacob David Collins
I think we all have those days when we just wish that it would be over. I think if I have one of those days I look forward to a nice glass of wine in the evening. I really enjoyed this piece Yvette, nice flow and rhythm as always. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from kiwisteveh
Ha, I saw your title and thought it must be about the Republican Convention! :O)
You've also reminded me of the occasion a crest-fallen waiter came to my table to apologise for bringing me a banana split that had no banana! To tell the truth, I hadn't even noticed - there was so much ice cream and whipped cream and nuts!
I can see you had a lot of fun with this. Sometimes it is just good to go with a playful idea like this and jot down anything that rhymes and fits the meter.
Is that a hint of political satire in the lines about wearing masks?

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love the topsy-turvy fast beating rhythm this poem has, and what fun words! The picture demands this poem, they are perfect for each other. Well done, my friend, your packing and everything else that's going on in your world at the moment, certainly hasn't stopped your creativity. It was a pleasure to read, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a clever write filled with the odds and sods of life and the crazy pantomime we find ourselves in. You conjured up some magic here Yvette and I enjoyed the entertaining read, fun rhymes and superb flow, wish I had a six for you, just used my last one on someone else! love Dolly x

Da - da, da - da, da - da, da - da. I am dancing to this lively tune. it's sending me up to the moon. I don't expect to come down soon. This sounds so great I may just swoon. This is a lovely melodic piece that you did a fine job on.

Oh, you made my morning with this review and the fact that it put some boogie in your feet! ;) :) Good morning, nomi -- apologies for the delay - thanx so much for the smiles!! ;) Take care out there as summer closes and Fall rolls in this month! ;) Yvette
-
You are so welcome. By the way, Yvette was the name of my late daughter, who just happened to love dancing. Stay well.
-
Well, there must be a tie on the spiritual plane then because I danced for seventeen years and still 'dance' around the house and even a little bit through the grocery store aisles when a great song comes on.... the rhythm is just a part of me! ;) :) May her memory continue to play a joyful rhythm for you, nomi. And stay well!
-
Oh it does. Whenever she would visit the first thing she would do would be to turn on some music and start a dance party.

What a marvellous poem you've written here Yvette, it looks like a bought one. All about the wonderfully salubrious monarch butterfly. Brilliantly written, you, you poet you, in iambic tetrameter in abab rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvette.
That certainly is an interesting picture you found to accompany your poem about absurdity.
You did a great job making sure this piece contains steady rhymes all the way through. Those are some very interesting sentences and lines in this poem. I read it slowly and smiled at the absurdities.
Good luck in the contest.

We are in the halls of the theater of the absurd these days. It almost seems normal.
