Fear spreads its wings and cloaks our dreams
Sleepless nights, lost hopes, ravines
Options and perspectives blurred
Freedom - such a hollow word…
‘Skype’ and ‘WhatsApp’ do their best
But mental anguish fuels our nest
Awkward-coloured ‘zones’ unfold
COVID leaves Wales in the cold!
Now public transport seems a threat
Numbers are right down, and yet
Despite mask-wearing, we are prone
To catching COVID, so stay home!
All matches cancelled from today
It doesn’t help that rain stops play!
A playful wind kicks up damp leaves
Nature in October grieves…
What joy! Our kind friends keep in touch
This personal contact means so much
As now, with little to enthuse,
We can on screen at least share news!
