"While I write my poems in April, I figure out the prompts in February and March—because I’ve learned it’s difficult to create both at the same time. So when I thought of today’s prompt, I was hopeful that it would be about a time in the recent past, but here we are, so without further ado…"
"For today’s prompt, write an isolation poem. For many, this is a very real and present subject. And for me, I’ve found that social distancing and staying at home has actually made it harder for me to find the isolation my introverted soul needs to recharge—so I actually wake up before anyone else to get a little alone time. But isolation existed before COVID-19 as well. So there are plenty of ways to dive into this one." - text and prompt taken from the Writers Digest website.
“Anticipation of my Isolation”
The pets have been fed
and they’re back in bed.
So now begins my sacred hour,
quiet time to recharge my power.
No teli, computer, or telephone,
I love this time when I’m all alone.
My sixty minutes may fly and go
but I’ll have it again tomorrow, I know.
