Doctor’s orders,
home alone
house detention,
cannot roam
all the preppers
love to drone,
‘Should’a listened!’
now I’m boned.

toilet paper
down to squares,
neighbours said they
have no spares,
beans and rice
coffee grains,
guess I’ll ration
what remains.

binging Netflix,
end of days
armageddon
in a haze,
distancing while on the mend
—kinda wanting to hug a friend
world-wide is the same refrain,
will we ever be the same?

nice. I like the way it rhymes.
we elbow the ones we respect.
the hands shaking no more.
I sneeze, if I sneeze, I leave the
place. my sneezes are powerful
and they could knock down whole
cities, so I take care not to sneeze
in public.
And I sneeze a lot.
Peace!

Oh how true! My job is in retail, and everyone is being pretty good with the restrictions being imposed to keep everyone safe, and make sure we can keep things on the shelf for everyone.

This was a great write.

Its just as well that I got divorced many moons ago, otherwise Id be on the cusp of doing my decree nisi and absolute right now. LOCKDOWN - doesnt that just ring of silence, solitude and sod all to do!

Great write Spike - capturing the essence of that wee beastie that hops from one country to another.

Excellent poem. Very well written. Keep up the good work.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
