Morning Walk
by ARHuelsenbeck
the perfect conditions for a walk
sunny blue skies
warm but not hot
light breeze
neighborhood blossoms blooming
people walking pooches
neighbors chatting six feet apart
faces masked (pandemic after all)
catching up on yard work
children chalking sidewalks
gathering forbidden
shopping discouraged
streets lined with cars
workers housebound
the perfect conditions for a walk
I like the (pandemic after all) in parentheses and with almost a dismissive tone. It’s quietly defiant. 🙂

I agree, walks now are wondrously solitary… Gotta take those silver linings wherever you find them!

Just getting ready for today’s walk, late afternoon, clouds moving in — but still, like your poem, we’re positively out of the house!!!!
