Making The Most Of Lockdown: (Sort Of) Poem by DM W

Making The Most Of Lockdown: (Sort Of)

Rating: 5.0


I'm trying to decipher scribbles of rain:
In random patterns across my window pane.
Perhaps that just goes to show how bored I am.
Yet I am sure some of you will understand.
I have even started to compile long lists
Of all and sundry; from the best works of Lizst
To the greatest U.S golfers of all time.
(And rating poets/ painters is simply sublime!)
From my top 100 pop/ rock albums, to
My favourite films and singers: old and new.
I don't know how long this bleak lockdown will last,
But I'm certain that I've more than enough lists
To occupy my time. It can't be denied
That it is much better than watching paint dry!

Dominic this is just Brilliant! Satire at its best and it bites sharply! Love it! I truly get it and understand the subtext message too. This cutting ironic gemstone deserves more than a mere 10. Thank you Dominic for making me laugh and brightening up a mediocre day. Top of the heap my satire poems and to reread. Thank you Dominic and look out Oscar Wilde!
