| Day #1: A Pandemic-al Birthday. Don’t breathe each others’ air, they said This pandemic means a lot to dread. Stay indoors, meet only on Zoom If you sneeze or cough, get a closed room. So the family thought they’d celebrate Keeping all the rules, yet making it great. When my cousin turned sixty last September His brother threw a party to remember. Everyone he knew joined in Friends, students, colleagues, kith and kin. My cousin teaches classical music He makes it fun, he makes it stick. So, on the Zoom meet that day, We heard his students sing and play. I learned a lot about him I didn’t know before He teaches music – and a lot more. Some of them said he’s like a parent Nurturing their growth, stern yet patient. From him they learned to practice every day To play while they learn and learn while they play. This is something quite ironic A celebration enhanced by the pandemic These students, now scattered world-wide Pandemic-ally, I had them by my side. I wouldn’t have known what they had to say If I hadn’t ‘met’ them online that day. We got together because of covid And I’m thankful that we did. Till then, he was just a cousin My Dad’s older brother’s son. Now, he’s someone I’m proud to know He’s helped so many performers grow. Seeing their outpouring of gratitude Has given me a whole new attidude If it hadn’t been for the virus – covid We wouldn’t have done what we did. We’d have had a conventional party. Joked around and eaten hearty. But this way, we shared something deep To cherish, to treasure – forever to keep. 40 LINES 273 WORDS "  Day One Winner(s)"  |
