Red, White, and Drifting

Red, White, and Drifting

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICWIGqf62Kw

"
The brilliance of the
ladybug landing on
my white coffee cup
as the wind blows through
the bedroom window
I think of ee cummings
and Buffalo Bill,
Mom, Dad, and the
rest of the dead.
The computer calls to me.
But I won't answer.
It's the Sabbath, and the
rest will do us all some
good.

Nicely done Thomas, and a fair point you are making here. Sundays are becoming more and more like weekdays in the UK - indeed the only day of the year that the Supermarkets close entirely is Christmas Day. I enjoyed this piece, very apposite ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thank you, Dylan. I appreciate it.
Indeed, the Sabbath is a day of rest. God didn't take a breather for nothing.

Thanks John. Much appreciated.
Rest and personal distance is often necessary in life. One of the reasons for the sabbath.
Nice one, Thomas.
