I stay at home on quarantine;
I am not feeling serene.
Mexican vacation’s been
cancelled, and I was so keen

to escape from all the snow.
Caribbean sunset glow?
Basking on a sandy shore?
Travel’s bad right now, I know.  😦

We already had t. p.
no panic necessary.
Asthma inhaler ready.
Home holiday with hubby.

I will unpack my suitcase
Stuff the new swimsuit some place,
Wash your hands! Don’t touch your face!
Hope we all survive with grace.

(A poem on life in the COVID19 pandemic)

    A great write, Shawn! Thank you for spreading a bit of light on these days. I just had my Hawaiian vacation canceled, so totally feeling those snowy weather, not-so serene, quarantine vibes! Sending wishes of health to your home ♥

    I feel for you. I was supposed to travel to the USA soon ~ and that isn’t going to happen. 💖

  3. Love it. Especially the last line.

  4. And that was mid-March…
    now it is mid-June.
    On and on it goes.
    This–the new normal?
    I prefer the old.
