Lockdown Lines: 100 poems written in Lockdown 2020 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

20th March 2020: the day the schools closed. Shortly after, the country went into lockdown and 'normal' life changed for all of us. The day the schools closed felt so strange; I decided to write a poem to record my thoughts. After all, I'm an English teacher- we're supposed to write aren't we?! More poems followed which I shared on social media, with friends and family. People liked them, cried or laughed after reading them and told me that reading my poetry was helping them get through the tough days. I gained a small army of followers and I soon found that writing a daily poem became a bit of an addiction! 'Lockdown Lines' contains personal poetry about my husband, my daughter, my parents and friends. It contains poetry about life during lockdown, from daily walks to Thursday nights clapping for the NHS. It contains lines which show my appreciation for nature and lines about needing a hair cut. What started out as a one-off, became 100 poems by 26th June 2020 (the day I decided to put my pen down and stop writing). Lockdown Lines is a record of history. It was my way of coping, a kind of therapy. It's a record for my two year old daughter to read. A memory full of rainbows.
