It’s been a year now,
That the Pandemic had begun.
I know, I know,
100 years ago, as well, there had been one.
.
But in this fast paced era of ours,
Where we move around like *dodge-em cars.
I’d like to hit the pause button,
Can’t you hear me weep?
Can my family quieten down,
And just let me sleep!
.
Online schooling is taking it’s toll.
Dear teachers, you are pure gold.
Husband is on a break,
He is at home all day,
When will the kids disappear ?
Leave the nest, fly away.
.
Okay now I will end this rant.
I hope the Higher Powers grant me what I want.
A nice warm blanket and to my bed I must be glued.
And One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
.
*Dodge-em cars: At amusement parks, there are miniature cars thar people ride and have fun going around in a rink, trying to bang into the next car, in the mean-time looking really awkward and not following a path.

Poignant and beautiful poem, Natasha <3
Thank you Moonmoon darling
One hundred years of solitude? don’t think you are gonna want that girl… topical mood indeed…
Absolutely spot on Chandra. It’s possible I wouldn’t last beyond a week.
I was simply very sleepy when I wrote this one. Thanks for reading💚
When u get those 100 years ping me… I need that Solitude badly😂😂😂😂
Too good my dear💚💚💚
I dont mind resting in those dodge-em-cars😂
I won’t ping anyone if I earn my solitude. Only if you bake a cake. Then I will bug you Sonali:)
Need a respite?
Truly, Charulata M’am. Son has 12th Boards and it’s only getting postponed
Oh yes! This pandemic is killing us😀. Loved your 💚poem
Thanks Gowri dear
Enjoyed reading this one!! 😁
Glad you liked it Patricia
Haha… Good one.. Nicely put across
Thanks Kirti:)
Totally agree with your sentiments 😀 100 years of solitude indeed
Glad you feel the same way, Ramya!
So feel it. Online schooling and everyone at home 24/7 have surely taken a toll on all. Praying for things to normalise soon. TC
Right. Thanks for reading, Zenobia. Here’s wishing everyone health,😍 happiness always.💚
I feel you Natasha.. 💚💚💚💚 I really need to catch up on sleep
Solitude foe 100 years😂😂😅
Fatema💚💚
Here’s to better times and peaceful, uninterrupted sleep
A present day scenario. We are really tired
True that, Sarita M’am
I COMPLETELY ECHO YOUR THOUGHTS
Thank you, Sai.😍
This is a candid confession.. how we all would love to do that💚 excellent!
Indeed Shweta. A break is much needed. Thanks for reading💚
Indeed we all need that solitude. Such an amazing poem Natasha ! As always in your signature style 💚💚
You always make my day, Nitika. Thanks.😍💚
I live for the periods of time when the husband and the son are out together, and I get to be alone at home. I don’t really get to sleep, but how I love that silence. I love them to the moon but a girl needs her alone time. What you wrote really connected with me. 🥰
Indeed Madhu. A girl needs her space. Glad you could identify with my poem.💚
The last line , relate to that one completely
Thanks Pradnya:)
Bang on & so true. Especially love the solitude part…a wishful thinking indeed for all of us who want it! 😃
Rightly said, Affinity and Moods. Thanks for reading:)
