Day 36 - Frame It

 FRAME IT


Prompt - Frame It : Write a short poem or quote that would make for good wall art in your home.


There's an old couple up in the Heights

They sit and she knits and he writes

Though lockdown persists

Their lives get their twists

Watching gory police dramas at night

-------------------------

Lockdown Love = Tolerance

------------------------

Lockdown Love = True love

-------------------------

Sick and breathless and sweaty sheen

Of covid we had plenty

A lifetime challenge come around

Surviving Twenty Twenty

------------------------------

I won't suggest this poem's great

I'll never rival Ovid

But I had a need to use his name

As the only rhyme for covid

----------------------------

As Caps fans we both had to learn

To ignore all accusers

They might be losing all the time

But at least they were OUR losers

--------------------------

Stuck in bed, stuck indoors

Emerging to discover

No gigs, no plays, no cakes to eat

A world gone under cover


No-one to see, not much to do

Going out became a bother

Though 2020 did it's worst

We always had each other
