Lockdown

heatherbee

 

 

Has these lockdowns been a breeze has it all became an ease. The kettles on the tv too the sound's of voices comfort you.

 To us the lockdown came so soon as we placed ourselves so marooned. The aches the pain our bedridden days so soon it all became a haze. 

We chose to lock ourselves away this pain and i for months or days.

 

So when were told to distance others our aunts and uncles and our brothers we know we did that long ago before the lock down stole the show.

 

This pain that makes us isolated the time alone we medicated we told ourselves it's time to be and play our part in society.

 

But then you came and took away the brand new start too our good day.

 

So here we are alone again in my bubble with my old friend so mr pain please take a seat the tv is on put up your feet.

    Pain filled words indeed.

    Have you considered writing without rhyme. Most of my stuff doesn't rhyme these days and i find it frees me up to say much more than i can when i have to find a rhyme. You are obviously a natural writer and i make this suggestion as a way of hopefully giving food for thought.

      Good words Heather in these Strange Times, may that pain soon go and your companionship be the very good words that you write.

      Pain certainly isolates and especially in lockdown needs to be admonished just as you write here dear Heather - - hoping your Mr Pain takes the hint and stays well away.
