Soggy Print
By John R. Greenwood
Morning smile
Or not
Visions vary
Whose eyes
Ingest
Small tests
To measure
To temper
To tease
Whether to savor
Wet moments
Or only
Cloudless days
Breathe in deeply
Whys and why nots?
Soggy print
Seems less important
Weighed against
Soldiers lost
Hospital beds
Papers new
Return tomorrow
Again

Good idea to put off reading it till the next day and enjoy today! Given the news coming at us these days:) I enjoyed your poem.
