Pax Ramadan

Pax Ramadan- Sonnet from Home Isolation

Stuck in my house with nothing to do

But my school work. School work that is sky high.

Then memories are sparked by Hamish, who?

Hamish Blake, humour the peak of the sky

He has a show where people build Lego

And suddenly there’s something to do! Light!

I watch while eating blocks of Freddo

And now, that childhood light is shining bright

Lockdown offered more than Lego in a suit,

From ancient archives, new games were polled,

And now my skill equals James Galway’s on the flute!

“Don’t play for too long,” I get told.

Although quarantine came with apparent doom,

I had many things to drown out that gloom!
