the sun does not care
for past inflictions of pain
it’s a love-bringeryou–your back to love
tell me that I’ve lost my spark
the sun says, “untrue” #Haiku #Love #Life #Poetry #NaPoWriMo #Writing— A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 8, 2020

before I can open my eyes,
the birds begin their chorus.
the alarm sounds,
shaking me awake.
I hear love in every
c h i r p,
I feel the melody
soothe my anxious
s e l f.
I rise today
a conqueror,
wrapped in new
determination. #Poetry #NaPoWriMo #Life #Motivation #Writing— A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 7, 2020

Today is Jernee’s birthday. The Little Monster and I have been through so much over these twelve years and I look forward to however many more there are for us ahead. She is my comfort, my peace, and my emotional support. I cherish her and on most days, I do not have the words to fully express just how happy I am she is in my life. Here’s her birthday micropoem:
this morning, the birds
delayed their songs
& I thought they’d forgotten
the dog’s birthday.
just before 6 am
angelic music
met my ears
they’re celebrating her.
12 years of loyalty
a neverending bond
my protector, my heart’s guard
the one I’ll always love. #NaPoWriMo #Poetry pic.twitter.com/9aDr3PqbKQ— A Cornered Gurl (@trEisthename) April 6, 2020

I’ve been participating in National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), however, I’d simply been tweeting them. I’ll start to share them here too.

I’m honored to be
in their congregation
I imagine they’re
preaching about how
stupid we must
have been to be
f o r c e d
to appreciate what
we had forgotten
needed our attention

Effective, Friday, March 27, 2020, we will be on Shelter-In-Place, however, they’re still keeping our center open. As of Monday, March 30, 2020, I will not be working a full week every week for however long this thing goes on. *Ahem* I will have to use my PTO to fill in my lost hours and can do so until I get to -80 hours. That’s our best offer from my company, and we’ll have our new schedule by the end of the day on Friday and the schedule will be done each week.
If our volume continues to drop, they’ll reassess keeping the center open. If they close, then we do not get any pay at all.
This my friends–is my reality and the reality for many others across the globe. These are scary times in which we live–quite scary, indeed. But, I look at it this way, this lessens my exposure to the virus as I’ll be able to stay home on my days off and away from the facility and I’ll also finish up some projects that need a little love.
This could be a blessing in disguise.
