Remember the Lockdown : 2020

Remember the Lockdown 2020 Empty quiet city streets Closed doors and shopping centres When we didn’t rush off to the supermarket Or the library or the shops When we walked and smiled at a distance Following the two metre rule. When we planned our shopping and meals ahead of time And who would cook them. When we rested weary with changes And zoomed into other people’s lives and rooms And at the end When time Which had seemed to go so slowly Coming out of lockdown Seemed so fast We wanted to stay home Cosy, secure and rest again This time without the worry

A poem like this shows how keeping the narrative simple and not overthinking the write can produce the goods. This poem records honest feelings that I am sure many can relate to. David from Wainuiomata NZ
