Singer Johnny Mathis still going strong

Bewitching vocals, smooth as silk in song

 

Warblers’ springtime plumage brightens landscape

Shades of blue, green, yellow, orange take shape

 

Farmers’ fertilizer prices spiking

Increased overhead not to their liking

 

Brown paper bags, twigs, plastic onion sacks

Collage recycles artist’s new syntax

 

Coffee-shop lunch counter welcomes noon time

Never forgotten, Woolworth’s “five and dime”

 

Belgian bluebells removing anxious stress

Nature’s medicine blooming to suppress

 

Most precious art comes from life’s inner heart

Handmade, with heartfelt love, creates folk art

 

Rethinking world’s disrupted supply chains

Rising shipping costs cause production strains

 

Walking, life’s underrated exercise

Fitness and health, energized at sunrise

 

Transforming river’s filthy slime and grime

Barge harvests garbage, one bag at a time

 

Everything’s shrinking except these prices

Consumers enduring sacrifices

 

Sports teaching much more than loses and wins

Lessons from playing field, wisdom begins
