Our Lockdown Poem
Venus and her Moon
March-April 2020
Under lockdown sky so clear
She seems so bright, so clear
We, in our bay-windowed room
Thrill to watch bright Venus glow
Beside her Moon in nighty dance
Below, ghost buses sail on by
Full of lights, and mothing more
Lonely walkers lead their dogs
Key workers struggle home -TVT bulletins
Truth and lies and
‘Next slide, please’
Devices tell another story
‘Next slide, please’
Above us still the stately walk
One bright, one glowing sphere
Side by side, but cosmically distanced
They entrance and cheer
Bits and bobs
