Poems of Self-Isolation

There once was a girl, whose eyes shone like the sun.

 she thought about her school, her school,

 to which she was sorrowfully sad to be away from. 

she thought as her mind drifted like leaves along the wind.  

every aspect about it was alluring.

the collaboration, as we were one as whole,

the kindness, the positivity, the laughter,

every worry melts away.

every bad thing is chased away by the sun that is the school.

she missed it, but she would return.

It felt like forever, stuck in our homes

like prisoners in their jail cells 

But at this critical time

we must stand strong together

united, with feelings of love and appreciation, 

exploding from our own hearts 

to those out there,

protecting us like the roofs over our heads  

Hope soon, we will be able to go outside,

into the Spring, the sun showering us with sunlight

Shining into our hearts brightly

The warm wind warming us with love

Bang, bang, bang, we will defeat the enemy

The sun comes up, it goes down

I look outside my window

I see the wonders of the world outside my window

We went for a walk today, It's getting colder outside I feel like if it wasn't for my coat I would be a frozen Icicle waiting to fall

I see less and less people outside. Where did they all go?
It's like a bad dream of not being able to catch a squirrel or not being able to play in the cold white stuff that seems to melt by spring, when the beautiful plants spring up and I am able to roll in the green grass and the dandelions that whisk in the wind

I hope the humans  come out soon

I like seeing children on the streets walking with popsicles melting, dripping on to the streets

As spring silent, a solemn song plays outside my window

It seems to get louder with no response from the outside world

It seems I am stuck  

like a person who unfortunately walked into quicksand

The bees buzz by broken flowers that have not been watered because of the sudden strange bizarre disappearance of the humans outside

But as for now I sleep silently as the leaves return to their natural green beauty

For, I am a dog and I just want to play

With the leaves and the heat blowing against my face.
