It's still poetry month

 In my reflections, I've realized a startling truth—I've been inadvertently starving myself. It's not a deliberate choice, I assure you. Cooking has become a rarity in my routine; instead, I rely on Meals on Wheels and Walmart Grocery delivery for sustenance. My diet has dwindled to two meals a day, which might seem sufficient, except these meals only meet half of my daily caloric needs.

Living on a fixed income, finances are always a concern. The soaring prices of fresh produce make it challenging to meet my nutritional requirements. The frozen dinners from the local grocery store offer a more affordable alternative, though I wonder if they match the nutritional balance of Meals on Wheels.

My solution? Combining fresh produce with frozen meals. This way, I can ensure a more balanced diet, even if there's no guarantee I'll receive everything I order. This mix-and-match approach provides a variety that Meals on Wheels doesn't offer, allowing me to eat more properly, even in the face of uncertainty.

Okay :) A prose poem without a title, merely my thoughts arranged more neatly. I penned an extensive narrative and requested the ChatGPT transform it into poetry. Writing is the only method I use to channel distracting emotions and thoughts. It is my hope that they are also words others can read and gain insight from. The 6 days I've missed I will try to make up and I'm sorry to anyone who planned to use my themes for their writing that I messed up on the publishing. Each poem below is in a different poetry style. Enjoy!

The theme list for this month:

I left off at Embracing Imperfection.

April showers fall, In each drop, nature's renewal, April showers fall. Life's cycle, a constant call, Reviving the earth, its annual accrual, April showers fall.

Lilac Budding, fragrant Blooming, growing, thriving Nature's delicate beauty Tree

Spring's Awakening,                                                     Nature's vibrant renewal.

In a child's eyes, Easter's joy reflects, A time of wonder, belief, and delight, In simple joys, their happiness projects.

Tax time blues, a hue of gray, Forms to fill, bills to pay, Numbers dance in disarray.

Receipts scattered, a paper storm, Calculations, a mind forlorn, April's burden, a financial norm.

But amidst the blues, a silver lining, Taxes done, a sense of refining, A fiscal landscape, slowly aligning.

5 Senses/Poetry Month Words on paper, colours dancing, imagination soaring, Fresh ink, like flowers, and the smell of old books, Sweet verses, like honey, and the taste of rhymes, Whispers of stories, and laughter of characters, The sound of dreams, and the rhythm of hearts, A warm embrace of words, like a cozy blanket.
