Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Writer yep you hit it right on the head every little aspect of these quarantines. I love you all relational information and I adore the way you described it. Everything you said a reader like me can relate to it. I also like that at the end in the final stanza of the poem you raise a little hope for better things concerning the virus. I like your style of writing I think it was a very good ode to a very real situation that is changed lifestyle of the whole world everybody of every Walk of Life in awe and wonder of what will happen next. I thank you for sharing and best wishes to you in the contest

This Ode to the Quarantine made me chuckle because I can imagine the Speaker "ah natural" on Facebook. It also describes accurately--in a light-hearted manner--how the quarantine has changed our lifestyles and how many of us cope daily. Rod

Thanks, Rod.
I think we writers are lucky in that when we run out of things that need to be done, we always have something to do that we enjoy.
Thanks for your comments and stay well.

Indeed that?s true, especially for those engaged in April?s write a poem daily contest..
Comment from Iza Deleanu
I love your cheerful ode, how I wish I had a six to reward your isolation, that doesn't go crazy of desperation. Your last stanza is memorable :"o,
Hail the quarantine that has
Kept us confined--an "Alcatraz"
Of sorts, but then with luck, perhaps
Will keep the virus under wraps.
"

thanks so much. One person said it didn't show love of anything, and I tried to change the last verse, then I read your comment and changed it back. thanks!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fun write about our enforced isolation just now and the different things we are doing to keep busy and not become bored without four walls! I never have enough time in the day to do everything, even when I wake early! The poem is a lot of fun and has a lighthearted theme, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

thanks, Dolly. I was reminded by one reader that it didn't show love for anything, so it may be tosssed, but I'm glad you liked it.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
I know some friends who I thought would go bonkers with isolation are quite enjoying their own company for a change. Nicely written ode, written with well-needed humour about the situation we all find ourselves in. Enjoyed it,
cheers

thanks so much. A friend of mine told me her excitement for the day was doing her nephew's laundry.
One thing, friends are checking up on each other more, which is nice.
Thanks again for your nice comments.

You did a good job with the contest entry except I don't really see the 'love' of something that odes are written about. However, Mystery Author, I'll leave that to the judges. That is just my opinion and not a criticism. I can tell you worked hard on this poem. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan
