Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Pre Pandemic

Confined for two months
but not complaining
in fact I count my blessings

I try to think back
to pre pandemic life
I draw a blank

Life seeming surreal
the reality of then and now
does not compute

The future’s an unknown
still hovering somewhere
between shock and denial 

Like everyone I wish
somehow we could turn back
to pre pandemic life

Tom Cunningham May 10, 2020 at 6:19 AM It's a weird time Line, very confusing, sadly the world we knew has gone. We're still in lockdown here in the UK. We should know today what the path is for easing the lockdown, hope you're well. Tom. P. S. Have you heard from Timothy, haven't seen him for a while Line Gauthier May 10, 2020 at 7:24 AM Making the best of it ~ sent you a SoupMail.
