How Was My Day?

I was neither too happy 

Nor very sad

The day commenced...

Had its quaint say and concluded

Did not leave much of an impact

The sky remained overcast

Did not bother to listen to the wailing of parched earth 

Plucked my mood from happiness berth

At home ...

Pandemic remained the cardinal topic of discussion

As no worthwhile subject hugged imagination

Spirited impulses somehow refused 

To rope in pledge

And look for hope...in the crevices of untouched pockets

One small change to the routine

Was brought by my distant cousin

His unannounced visit was a delight

Smeared happiness

Elicited plethora of joy and treat

As we sat together for a modest luncheon

Recounting days of gay abandon

We felt and realised 

Nothing can compensate our pristine prime days.
