Hello, PL’s.
Now you know me by now. I always resist contemporary issues, even when they’re looking at me in the face! Always leaning towards nostalgic poetry.
However, I couldn’t resist posting Sharron Green’s two great poems. So descriptive, observational, and beautifully put. Thank you Sharron.
Lockdown Days
Lockdown meant plans were suspended
Countless hopes and dreams upended
Videos and cartoons trended
Some offended! Some offended!
Pretty soon the days all blended
Walls were painted, gardens tended
Many things were made or mended
Neighbours friended! Neighbours friended!

It’s all about Face
Not long ago our faces could be bare
And we could enter shops without a care
Now entrances to shops instruct ‘take care’
And bare-faced patrons are subject to glares
So staff admonish customers with glares
(Although they’re mask exempt when stacking wares)
Some claim they have forgot, are unawares
But there’s the chance to stock up on spares
For different outfits now I keep some spares
(A tip would be to buy mask-maker shares)
It’s best to keep masks clean and avoid shares
In order to suppress all Covid scares
It’s only since the dawn of Covid scares
Not long ago our faces could be bare

Weren’t they just great?! Dobby and I really loved hearing those. Thank you, Sharron.
