She Looked Like
She Looked Like…
A Christmas tree
Decorated all over
With appendages!
A scarf round her neck
To keep out the chills
A mask on her face
To keep the virus
Out of her place
Her internal workings
Needing protection
And glasses…
So she could see her way
To those essential shops
Where a smile might greet her
And take away…
The weight of her meagre shop
Later and returned home
Her hat removed
The dangly earrings
Came into view
Nodding a cheery hello
This noticed by herself alone
She lived in isolation
And far from her old home
Where she had raised her family
She would see them again soon
