Lockdown Blues It

It’s one hundred percent proof for the bored The label I hide on the wine bottle, Spilled a drop my love’s Tabby laps it up They told me of the psycho cat's demise. Lockdown adding to her mental anguish Sabbatical dreams after quarantine, Doctor orders peace and tranquillity Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach. © Harry J Horsman 2020 © Kim Rodrigues 2020

Yup, this lock down has done some weird thing to many people, especially if people are inclined to be depressed, they could become suicidal or Oh dear, even kill someone! Great write Harry and so true of today's different kine of world. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Reading just your words you have a poem that also stands on its own. I also enjoyed reading it together. You two make beautiful verse together.

I've learned that "lockdowns" do add to mental anguish. Stress just builds. You did a great job adding your lines to Kim's. Winning wishes coming your way, Harry! Hugs, Carolyn

Well done Harry. A little wine and a warm kitty is just the ticket for the cabin fever. Excellent. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving, JB Been off line awhile. Very tired. Turing 73 on the 14th. Slowing down a bit.
