Christmas 2020
Lessons From Lockdown
I'd use the time well
get lots of things done
the country locked down
was no time for fun.I sorted the Tupperware
homecooked my meals
burned some old paperwork
searched ebay for deals.Polished the silver
trimmed my own hair
purged all the closets
of clothes I don't wear.Then I slowed down
stopped watching the time
slept a bit later
began a new rhyme.Sat on the porch
and noticed the birds
listened to music
and heard all the words.The quiet is lovely
without all the cars
I laze with the cats
and gaze at the stars.Learned that my days
are sweeter spent slow
It took a pandemic
to learn what I know.2020 Cheri Neuman Herald
