The quarantine situation has given many people the time and opportunity to pursue things that they were not aware they could do. Many people tried painting or drawing while others learned to dance or sing. I recently tried poetry for a school memoir writing assignment and decided it wasn't too bad, so I thought I'd post some haikus I wrote here:
Another week gone
Before I even notice.
All days seem the same.
Assignments keep me
Busier and busier.
Hope I do it all.
Sometimes I feel like
I’m not as motivated
As I was before.
I am still working;
Working for many hours.
3 hours, my foot.
I have started to
Hear music while I work. It
Gets me through it all.
I haven’t talked to
Many of my friends since school
Closed down. I miss them.
It often feels like
The entire world has stopped.
When will time resume?
What will it be like
When we are finally
Out of quarantine?
Will time go back to
It’s breakneck speed, the way it
Was before it all?
Will everything
Go back to our old normal?
Will we get it back?
Or will we live in
Fear? Scared to touch each other,
Scared of all that was.
But no matter what
We must stay positive
And get through it all
Erase all bad thoughts.
No darkness is eternal.
Hope for better days.
I hope you are all keeping yourselves busy and engaged in work during this time!
