Scoffing The Wise

Scheming demons
in kingly guise
foisting treasons
on the unwise
Moving the light
closer to night
and flaying day

Smell the Roses

Pause and notice
the miracles
you just dismiss
as light trickles
from screen to eye
while you pass by
lost in life’s din

Inspired by a line “I declare world peace and invite you to notice the miracles unfolding every day” below Selma Martin’s wonderful poetry post “World Citizens In Solidarity With Ukraine: An Espresso Moment
