Though the day's been active
with socializations real and virtual,
neighbourly and international:
though I created art-works
and gave one away,
I wanted to write a poem
before I attempted bed
I'm high or low on THC and opioids;
my head throbs with social strain, confusion
and the insanely persistent pain
Things are wonderful
things are terrible:
tree leaves are sweet and colorful now
just starting to drop
I'm afraid of the doleful cold nights
that are coming,
but then crisp air
is oft fine and reviving

Nice job :)
