Lovely works mandolin girl! I've never had the juice for poetry, though I do enjoy reading it. I have several "manuscripts" though for future novels.

Y Quote from: Mandolin Girl on October 16, 2020, 10:59:03 AM I've carried on with the writing, which is one if the reasons I haven't been very active in the site. Adventures of a Space Munky is now at nearly 55,000 words with four quite long chapters completed and a fifth under way.  I'm just waiting for new ideas to come to me.  When your done, are you going it publish it somewhere? Sounds like a good read! I'm not the best with writing, always bad at a lot of thing in English except reading, can speed-run a book given enough time. I have had a few idea floating around my head, but never sat down and wrote something.

@ Wigwag - Thanks very much.  @Bulbman - I might go down the self publishing route, some authors have done that and the exposure has led to a deal with a big publisher.

I've never been good or liked to write literature in Spanish or English, but here's my first attempt.  Smash n' roll. Let the LED roll its way to the trash

I found this online, so I take my credit! T'was a month before Christmas, And all through the town, People wore masks, That covered their frown. The frown had begun Way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic Changed everything. They called it corona, But unlike the beer, It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer. Contagious and deadly, This virus spread fast, Like a wildfire that starts When fueled by gas. Airplanes were grounded, Travel was banned. Borders were closed Across air, sea and land. As the world entered lockdown To flatten the curve, The economy halted, And folks lost their verve. From March to July We rode the first wave, People stayed home, They tried to behave. When summer emerged The lockdown was lifted. But away from caution, Many folks drifted. Now it’s November And cases are spiking, Wave two has arrived, Much to our disliking. Frontline workers, Doctors and nurses, Try to save people, From riding in hearses. This virus is awful, This COVID-19. There isn’t a cure. There is no vaccine. It’s true that this year Has had sadness a plenty, We’ll never forget The year 2020. And just ‘round the corner - The holiday season, But why be merry? Is there even one reason? To decorate the house And put up the tree, When no one will see it, No one but me. But outside my window The snow gently falls, And I think to myself, Let’s deck the halls! So, I gather the ribbon, The garland and bows, As I play those old carols, My happiness grows. Christmas is not cancelled And neither is hope. If we lean on each other, I know we can cope.
