K. Pinella’s thoughts
The Spell of Halloween
Tonight’s specialty,
Guarded by Jack O. Lantern;
Stop by the doorstep.
Pinched, red-rimmed eyeballs,
Gazing, rolling, spell-binding,
There for the picking.
Pluck one and pop it,
Genuine Halloween treat,
Feel the squishy lens.
Ablaze
Fire, fire,
Trees on fire,
Skies are orange,
Times are strange.
Coronavirus,
Protestors,
They continue to rage,
Seeming endless outrage,
Where oh where,
Do we go from here?
Dear Dad
Recline in your favorite chair,
Grab a cold refreshment,
Remove the ‘honey-do’ list from your view,
Take the remote control,
Remember we love you always,
Every day and not just today,
Recognizing it’s Father’s Day!
Race Scarred
Age old beliefs of skin tone judging
Burrowed deep in values and teachings,
Inevitable repeating of past hurts and turmoil,
Leading tense situations to simmer, then boil.
Unity regarding skin deep beauty–
A fantasy outweighed by hate and cruelty.
Time to think differently,
And commit to true harmony,
Start with empathy,
Listen and learn continuously.
Look beyond the surface,
To realize healing and peace.
Mothered’s Day
To all those who mothered,
Whether yours or theirs,
Whether for years or months,
You were still there,
And that you gave your motherly touch
Is all that matters.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Fifth of May 2020
It’s Cinco de Mayo,
Remember the margarita,
Or, is it the Alamo*?
Let’s do the cha cha cha,
Then serve the mojito
And tortilla chips and salsa;
Soon, we can go
And break open the piñata,
Via Zoom, Skype, or Zoho.

How I Despise Thee
Coronavirus . . .
How I despise thee,
For thy unpredictability,
Spreadability,
Longevity,
Mostly . . .
For causing economic instability
And excess mortality.
Easter 2020
Hippity hop,
Hoppity hip,
Cover-it-up
As you visit ‘n see
Friends and family;
Six feet away,
And forego the Easter buffet.
A New Start
Another new year,
Gonna give it another try
To get in gear
And simplify
My ways
And days
To live the good life
With little strife.
Examples of good life:
