Quietly

757 Haiku form.... not a single vehicle or rambler has passed my old cottage for three and a bit consecutive days.... was gonna call it lockdown or summat, but then thought nah...

Quietly

Say it like it truly is 
starkly surreal, mid
such emptiness and beauty..

Love your twisted Haiku syllable count to be symbolic of this virus, very clever! I love the contrasts, since NOBODY is saying what's on their minds QUIETLY . . . but it's been so quiet in some of the most unusual places, like southern California freeways & the Golden Gate bridge. Nobody around here is still, constant traffic, more than usual, becuz nobody is going to work & everyone is bored staying at home. It was quiet here for ONE WEEKEND, but then it went crazy with people coming & going & gathering for all sorts of things! Happy Easter to you & your loved ones! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Quiet is good. Means you are in a safe place to enjoy your cottage and beautiful surroundings. Pity the poor people living in densley populated areas in city centres. Confined to flats without gardens. I like your 7/5/7 Neville. Very inventive. Good morning and keep safe.

Very touching poem about the quietness in the outside world. I've noticed there's less people where I am.
