   She shows us that we can adapt to all kinds of circumstances.  Knowing her loss of dear Ron make her poems especially poignant. https://hubpages.com/literature/Poem-Adapting-Behavior

      Hello Brenda!
      Beautiful response to the word prompt 'Adapt,' and very well expressed poems!
      You are yourself in the process of adapting to the new situation, and doing it well!
      Human beings have this special quality of adapting to the new circumstances, which life throws them in, and the good news is that they are able to do so, by their determination!
      Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of writing!

   Brenda, these poems describe the true definition of adapt. The acrostic poem manages to say it all in so few words. The second one mentions You Tube for finding out how to do just about anything andI can vouch for that. I have used it often.
   Thanks for sharing, Peggy.

      Thanks John...
      YouTube has been a life saver for me.
      
      I taught myself how to change a drill bit...how to use our zero turn.
      The list goes on & on.
      
      I'm glad my work shows the meaning of adapt.

      John...
      I think I would be lost without YouTube.
      
      I never thought I'd ever have to learn and do the things I am doing.
      
      It just goes to show us...we need to be prepared.
      
      Kind of like ....if you're right handed...learn to use your left hand too.
      
      We never know what the cards will deal...but in my case, I pretty much knew & still didn't think it all through until it met me head on.

   I enjoyed reading your poems about the prompt adapt. I think you described this word very well in your beautifully written poems. I like the poems, the song and the quotes you included. I agree that we can learn a lot by watching YouTube videos.

      Watching YouTube definitely helps one learn.  Often better than a piece of paper.
      Adapting is easier this way.

      Ravi...
      I'm truly learning the meaning of adapt.
      Plumbling issues...after not being able to shower or flush my toilet for over a week...i now can flush away just No Toilet paper.
      Until it totally gets fixed...that's gonna be awhile...but Adapting I am.
      
      Yeah!  It's all good
