Poetry Friday: A Skinny Poem for Health Practices

Thanks to Matt at Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme for hosting all the poetry goodness today.

Good luck, Matt, on the March Poetry Madness. It looks like a good group of people are submitting poems. Hopefully, many are turning to poetry during this crazy health time.

Last week, Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell both said now is the time for health poems. They can be found reading this a poem by Michelle H. Barnes for helpful people in troubling times HERE.

So today, I present my skinny poem about greeting people during this social distancing time.

Greet Me

Instead of hugs
a smile, a fistbump
wash
your
hands
a smile, a fistbump
get
your
rest
a smile, a fistbump
instead of hugs
