Home haiku

I thought you might enjoy reading the haiku poems my daughter wrote yesterday as part of her English homework. I love how they express so many emotions in so few words.

Here we are at home
Forty-seven days and more
Wishing we were out

Stuck at home all day
Isolated, alone, sad
Apocalyptic

Overwhelmed with work
Constantly behind and bored
Wishing this was done

Missing friendly laughs
Contacting only through screens
Wishing you were here

People needing masks
Some dying alone, afraid
Waiting for the end

Going for a walk
Lovely sounds all around me
Fresh airs renews me

PJs all we wear
Goodbye summer holidays
Missing family
