Surviving Solitude

Loneliness lurks like a live leprechaun, Leering at her loss of love and laughter; She leads a luckless lamentable life, Lacking light, leaning towards lunacy, Laden with longing and lacklustre lies; Listlessly lingering in lethargy, Labyrinthine lady looks lachrymose. 03.25.2021

You describe well the anxiety created by a year of "isolation," Jo. I'm sure most readers can relate to "Listlessly lingering in lethargy." Hope you are able to get outside soon and enjoy spring. Very well penned! Hugs, Carolyn

Incredible alliteration Jo, funny but the words are so well chosen it doesn't feel like it's too much... maybe I just love L too much lol!
