Some bare trees I’ve seen
Most however, are still rather green
I start my day with lemon & honey
To have a whole day of energy
It”s stronger than coffee 💛☕
November Morning
Gas & Electrity
I never thought I’d hear young people say:
‘Can you please switch off the lamp’
That cost would block their way
Because of others’ war camp
Many years, the young ignored elders’ say
Spite
It is tempting to act out of spite
Towards others ~ yet,
It’s yourself you will bite
It’s a backfiring, self harming bet
Better open the heart to new, positive fight
Travel
Unheard of before:
Travel is becoming a lot more
Strangely difficult ~ in this country
No trains, little airport security
Will we see more?
An Appreciated Monarch
I just heard that queen Elisabeth died
In stable strength her nation could bide
For sure, the queen helped tie restoration
Between ex-colonies and her nation
May positive memories be shared wide
Sensitive Topics
This week, my country men & women
Celebrate sexual & gender diversity
Yet, we all keep her & him in
Not in wholly the same body
Though love is spread over us equally
EU & Dutch Agriculture
I wonder, could EU members see
A powerful Dutch economy
As a source of envy
Nitrogen as an excuse ~ as their key
To destroy a big sector of an economy
Summer
Do I enjoy it enough,
I sometimes ask
So quickly, the festive mask
Is replaced by the one that’s rough
Just go out, with your water flask
Covid19
Alas, it reached us again
Me & others, still enjoy immunity
Others had to go in quarantaine
They won’t suffer coming months, hopefully
Me, I’d like to smell again
Today
Army chopper above us,
As a notorious gang is brought to court
Beyoncé on the radio; minus & plus
Are concepts I wrestle with, as I sort
My papers ~ to disallow others to discuss
Nitrogen & Carbonhydrate
Government hypocrisy against nitrogen
Will lead to many farm forclosures
Yet, foreign & carbon hydrate figures
Are as ominous as those for nitrogen
So today, farmers protest against measures
Long Reigning Monarchs
I will memorize the British queen
And the festive weekend of 70 years reign
I thought she had longest ever reign
But, with Louis IV, it has been
Seventy two years France has seen
Happiness
Happiness with the small things,
Is fairly easy — it’s gratitude, joy
Happiness with major things,
Takes more effort to find & enjoy
It’s not fully in our hands to deploy
Amazing Weather Day
Here I am, doing something tedious
Yet, I had to leave the paper fuss
The blue sky with its white fluff
Swallows bringing their vocal stuff
May they help through the monotonous
Stars Above
I look at the stars today
So many we have, in & out of the Milky way
If each represent a person,
I ask: Are you there, away from the Sun?
~ I wish everybody a happy Mother’s Day
