Life in Lockdown

Pen a poem about your life in lockdown,
Not meeting friends or going into town.
Did you take part in exercise to start the day?
Or enjoy learning with your parents and carers teaching you their way?
Maybe you spent lots of fun time on Zoom,
Sharing quizzes with friends or family in their virtual living room.
Spending time outside in the garden learning more about nature,
Drawing pictures and finding out more about a new creature.
We would love to hear about your life in your own poetic style.
Send us your words, share your experience, and make someone smile.
