It’s more than time. The jury is no longer out. States have been weighing in. And the answer has been a resounding : “Yes”.

It’s a massive shift that took place over just a few years.

A decade ago, no states allowed marijuana for recreational use; the first states to legalize cannabis in 2012, Colorado and Washington, did so through voter-driven initiatives.

Now, 17 states and Washington, DC, have legalized marijuana (although DC doesn’t yet allow sales), with five enacting their laws through legislatures, showing even typically cautious politicians are embracing the issue.

Hear me more. Says your body. 
 Your health can speak in many ways.
 Disease is the annoy expressed by your body. Sometimes we ignore our body and mental health.

Today’s poetry form is Soliloquy.

A Soliloquy is a monologue in which a character speaks to himself or herself, expressing the inner feelings that the audience might not otherwise know. Soliloquy is not considered a poem, but witnessing them in most of the Shakespeare's plays can blend them into a poetry form. 

Soliloquy reveals the character of an individual. Popular soliloquy of Romeo Juliet play speaks her loud thoughts when she comes to know that Romeo, is the son of her family’s enemy.

At times every individual needs that liberty to speak his thoughts aloud. Feelings are vented out to unchain from the mental blockage.

A soliloquy or a monologue is…

I was just thinking “if he brings me flowers I will throw them at him” that I see some flowers on the dining table.

I ignored them hoping they weren’t for me.

Husband had stepped out and wasn’t home.

He comes home.

I was in the bedroom, so the bedroom is at the end of a long hallway directly in front of the stairs.

I was in the bedroom and I see husband coming up with flowers. I saw him walk through the entire hallway, almost looked like in slow motion like a movie.

He hands me the flowers telling me he doesn’t want to fight. I ask him so why does he? His answer was :”I need you on my side”

I was tearing up not because of his words but because I was reading something on Facebook before he came up but it looked like I was emotional…

So today was pre op testing for my toddler, he needs to have a procedure next week and he needed a physical and a covid test. Darn it, we were able to avoid these damn covid tests till now but this time I had no way around it.

Anyway, husband didn’t read the memo in my calendar invite and thought surgery was actually today so he was pretty annoyed when he learned it wasn’t. Plus these hospitals allow only 1 parent to go in with the child and that parent is me, no matter what he says. So he felt I was using him as a chauffeur although I called him and told him to come in as they allowed him to be in the waiting room with us.

Anyway.

When we came home he decided to work from home today (omg).

I started cooking for Shabbat (a huge list…

Poetry is half-read without understanding nature and nature’s work of art.

An Idyll poem is one such poetry form where the intricacies of nature, peace and serenity are depicted formally.

Idyll Poetry is simple descriptive work in poetry or prose that deals with rustic life, pastoral scenes or suggests a mood of peace and contentment. 

Here is my take on this poetry form. As nature is one of my fond choice of muses of life.

Nature, My Humble Abode 

Every stretch of the green plateau,
 every strain on the motherland, 
 Significant yields, 
 All denoting the endurance 
 and bearings of mother nature. 

Her going through 
 Seedling, Ploughing planting and harvesting are phenomenal activities to yield the desired crops.  

She complaints of no pain, 
 As all mothers are born with traits of giving…
