Poem -
My Isolation
Eighty-Four Pins is my first collection of Poetry available now! Order on www.amazon.co.uk
This cubed esophagus binds,
This bear moves left to right,
Upfront and behind,
All I see are bricks and mortar,
That circle and spiral,
Thoughts spread like Wi-Fi,
Pale blue lines,
Punch holes and intertwine,
My electronic tag,
Straight-jacketβs me in,
As I spin and slide,
Get thrown inside,
And here I am,
Left to sit and stare,
Scared of whatβs in my head,
Afraid of whatβs out there,
Alone with my thoughts,
My isolation,
Afraid of the smug,
The suffocation,
Afraid of this virus,
This thing,
That could take hold of me,
Shapes me,
Moulds me,
Into a shell,
But for now Iβm in isolation,
And itβs a living hell.

Thanks for comments.
Excellent read! You're a very gifted writer.
Simon what a lovely thing to say. I have been writing for a while hopefully my 1st collection will be released in June 2020.
My Dear Sarfraz,
You have written a brilliant insight into the Worldwide fear of the Coronavirus.Β It has entered into much of my current poetry too.Β I do most of my comments poetically, so I will end this one with a Haiku.
The virus beckons
It call to us night and day
We dare not respond
Peace and Love,

Packed full of emotion, well done poet!Β
Favorite lines:Β
I liked the emotion at the end. Being in isolation is easy for me (at times) as my world is being shut in on a daily basis. But I think after the shut down is over, I am going to make it my new goal to get out more and to make more positive connections in life. It's hard being in solitude. What helps me is walking each day, having a litter of kittens at my feet and a husband. If I lived alone during this time, it would be so much harder to get through.Β
Thanks for sharing your poetry.Β
Please let us all know when your book is published.Β
Cheers,Β
Kat
