Terminal 1 Nice Airport
We are in mad times indeed, and for the foreseeable future. A piece of nostalgia, like when you were last in an airport, is what is needed, I think. Enjoy, share, give me feedback.
Nice Airport
treetops - grey and white steel joists make a visible roof -
small bushes - girders hidden in plaster cladding –
hedgerows and flower beds - red seats - tables in rows –
unbelievably real sparrows live here -
flit from table to table - hop on smooth tiled floors
unfazed by shod feet - they will even drop
to your plate and nibble cookies
- cheeky feathered creatures have adapted

I love the imagery of the first stanza, the second is the epitome of adjusting!

Grief is experience through the mundane. Simple but powerful. The accompanying image really compliments the poem.

Hi Peter,
A great observation! Social media can be a scary place... I also need to reduce my time there
Hugs,

A great one, Peter, in the context you describe. I don't read social media myself, I doubt my equilibrium could stand it. 'The balance of his mind disturbed' yes, I think it would be.

Yes, gossip is a weapon of mass destruction.
In my business as well as personal life I have zero tolerance.
