Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is health.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A poem for children about zooming for play and school during the COVID pandemic:
After we come home from school,
Here is how we play!
Until this virus goes away,
Here is how we play!
We'll play games and have some fun
While all of us are safe at home,
Zooming! Zooming! Everyone
On a laptop or a phone.
We're learning in a different way.
Zoom is our school.
Until this virus goes away,
This is our new rule:
Playing, learning, having fun
While all of us are safe at home,
Zooming! Zooming! Everyone!
This is how we learn and play:
Z-Z-Z-Zoom!

Note: Google has decided to discontinue Feedburner, the free service that sends you this daily email. At the age of 80, I have decided that would will be a good time for me to discontinue the Poem of the Day. The last Poem of the Day email will be sent out on May 23rd.
I will still be posting a new Poem of the Week each week at my Web site (https://www.poemsforfree.com/week.html), as well as regularly adding new poems, drama, and fiction to the site. And you are welcome to follow me on:

It has been a pleasure sending out, first, the Poem of the Week and later the Poem of the Day for nearly a quarter century. Thank you for being a subscriber and best wishes to you all,
