Where Have All the Colours Gone
Six feet apart
Or
Six feet under
Distance lends enchantment
While
Closeness creates calamity
Watching for symptoms
And
Keeping out of harm's way
Browsing in shops banned
With
Online goods to be disinfected
Photographs to remind us
Of
Those we so want to hug
No longer cheering as part of the crowd
But
Confined to watching our heroes on the box
When will we see the end of lockdown
To
Restore colour to our now grey lives?
Before this virus our taken for granted treasures
Now
Deprived of our life-enriching pleasures.
