Annoying and Unprecedented
Caroline Erlandsen
It’s a sad and lonely time now
All I want is to see my friends, but how?
Craving interaction yet rudely mistaken
Thus, my creative sides have been rudely awakened
I walk outside to empty streets
And all the politicians these days are filled with deceit
My sleep schedule is trashed, and I can’t fall asleep
And now my days are filled with chores like to sweep
The grocery store has turned into a war zone
It makes me want to just go home and be alone
The aisles a mess and no one within 6 feet
How am I supposed to just come buy some meat?
But my family of 6 is always around
Which gives me no room if I need to break down
So I find myself constantly hiding in bed
Wondering when, God when, is this thing going to end?

The accuracy of your title drew me in and the picture you have attached made me laugh, which I appreciate very much. Your poem is incredibly well written. Your use of rhyme is very well done and makes this piece so fun to read. My favorite line is “Thus, my creative sides have been rudely awakened.” Since everyone is stuck inside with an absurd amount of time on our hands and creative hobbies are a sufficient pass time, this line sums that up perfectly.

This piece was fun yet realistic; the rhyming and melodic structure made your poem exciting to read, but it had sincere concerns being discussed. This contrast is what makes your writing powerful. It is hard to make the best of the situations we are in, but I can tell you enjoyed writing this. I can relate to the excessive amount of chores and I’m sorry that it seems like you have nowhere to vent. I don’t think its too much to ask when the hell this all will end.

My god was this relatable, On one hand I was excited to be home with family, but after a week I’m so fed up with being home. My parents are annoyed with me as if I’m the problem. I DIDN’T SIGN UP TO BE HOME! Anyways, I really enjoyed your poem. I enjoyed the imagery you used. It brought it to life. It will be over sooner or later! So hang in there!! Stay healthy and safe!
