Great write but just one point I would make, as I have written in reply to Andy\'s posting, it was predictable and we failed to prepare.

πŸ’› DEATH OF HUMANITY πŸ’› A 6 6 2 BLANK VERSE SONNET

Homo sapiens has ruined earth by their greed for power and the following of fallacious religious organisations. Nature has proved once more that it will always win.

πŸ’› DEATH OF HUMANITY πŸ’› A 6 6 2 BLANK VERSE SONNET
orchidee said:

We\'ve brought it upon ourselves, or rather the few in China have - conditions not unlike The Black Death in the \'wet markets\'. (Remember I survived it of course, around 1348. Doh!). Then millions of \'innocents\' are suffering.
You know \'innocent\' not in a strictly spiritual sense, but meaning \'good, ordinary folk\'.
There\'s still vanity of celebrities - they make us sick sometimes - not physically though. I mean, I gotta pay for Branson\' private island upkeep now!

LOL when did you last witness planet earth as being paradise for mankind.... that\'s assuming you actually meant mankind and not just convenient selective bits of mankind. Mankind is ALL of us and in true spirit of goodwill, if part of mankind is suffering then mankind it self is suffering.
When?
London no longer the capital of commerce... so where is that now then? and Florida just a playground for alligators?... well if Florida were a country it would rate 17th in GDP according to google.

What a strange world you look out upon.

LOVE πŸ’› LIGHT πŸ’› LIFE πŸ’› ANGELA πŸ’› PANTOUM
Michael Edwards said:

Support for others is key to it all. I am posting a weekly challenge by way of photos to my local art group (approx 25 members) who then paint their version of the image. Most of the members are well beyond retirement age and it provides them with something to help ease the loneliness and boredom of lockdown and a means of keeping in regular contact with each other. It\'s not easy as most need some help with technology in things like posting their responses to the group and I am sorting out issues on a daily basis. However I am getting so many responses including photos of members painting at home that it makes it all worthwhile. We\'ll even be able to hold our own exhibition of the members work when this is all over.

Good write B&A.
Should it be 10 disciples? Judas Iscariot had gone by then, and Thomas was not there at first.

orchidee said:

And - well certainly Spring-like for now - if rain to follow?
I read it was -12C in 2013 at Easter somewhere in UK. Probably some Scottish Highland, and just one night, as newspapers exaggerate the weather sometimes.

orchidee said:

\'Tis true A&B.
Yes, I see in diaries - Easter is on or near the Jewish Passover Festival each year.
I read that the date of Easter depends on the date of a certain \'Paschal Moon\'s appearing, but not in a spooky or astrological way.
Oops - one church had that hymn every year on Mrs S. birthday. Some groaned that we had it yet again, but no need to complain of it.

Good words, we mut all do what we can to keep ourselves sane.

Unfortunately one of the things I have been doing is making biscuits, allegedly for my neighbours and their two young boys - well I do have to try them to see if they are OK says my increasing girth!

TOGETHER ~ WHATEVER THE WEATHER 🧑A VIGINTRAIN πŸ’™ A EULOGY
Fay Slimm. said:

Yes always together whatever the weather - You outlined the predicament of society so well here dear duo - we all have to grin and bear it together for a while to fight this vile virus and as our monarch said - \"we will win\" -- great that you chose one of my favorite singer-players whom I have sadly neglected for ages - always loved Gilbert \'O Sullivan\'s appealing songs and good to read the words as he sang it. Keep taking care and stay well .................... x Fay
