Challenge

I think that I will spread a virus
We won’t be sure what fell upon us
We’ll write in rhyme both day and night
Until ours heads aren’t screwed on tight

Through the family this could spread
Up hill, down dale where will it end
There’ll be no winner, no points to tally
Just prove you can you rhyme like Grandma Sally

Ruminate

I woke today without rest
I start the day a bit pre-stressed

I must, I can’t, I could, I should
I ponder, reflect - this can’t be good.

I brood, I fret, I second-guess
Chew-on, mull over - I’m such a mess

And then I slow the rumination
I shift into deliberation

Absorb, digest, assimilate
Whatever life brings will be just great

Then I breathe both long and deep
Tonight perhaps I’ll get some sleep.
