  O Reader, so special and dear!  
  Perhaps, in a corner, you sit today,  
  spirit broken, tears rolled, you sway.  
  A grain of sand, swept off, só confused;  
  struggling, searching, your heart suffered, bruised!  
  Many uncertainties weigh on your soul-  
  unexpected illness, violence, death a toll.  
  May poetic words ease your heart's silent plea-  
  heavenly comfort to help you be free!  
  To relax and smile through both joy and despair,  
  read Isaiah 43, find solace in prayer!  
  And may that tiny grain of silica becomes bright,  
  unfolding like quartz, bringing beauty and light!  
  Wishes from my heart, 
  Johanita

  USEFULNESS of HIPPOPOTAMUS THE -...

  I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander-pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
  One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
  Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
  In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
  In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
  You can, too. 
  Peace & flowers. Love & light. 
  Vincent J. Tomeo, Author/Poet
