Stephen Pennell Poet Villanelle

Normality

The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been
You miss your friends and family a hug is what you need 
We craze the company of others  our normal routine

A trip down the cinema to see a new release on the big screen 
and for this virus to release us and for us to be freed
The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been

We turn the other cheek and give a cheesy grin
but we must stay inside the government as decreed 
We craze the company of others  our normal routine

 You hope that the doctors can create a vaccine
 You check the obituary’s for your name and for the death toll to  recede
 The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been

 You rise out of bed and recharge on caffeine 
 another day of daytime TV is guaranteed 
 We craze the company of others  our normal routine

Stand tall put on your happy face on and grin
As one day this will end  let this be agreed
The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been
We craze the company of others  our normal routine
