Deep waters

The widow did not shed a tear, and the world was aghast. They were such a happy-go-lucky couple.

Wedged

Wedged …. by Aishwarya at kittysverses

kittysverses's avatarKitty's Verses

P.C :- Sue Vincent

Wedged between,

Nowhere to go and,

Stringing realms of life together,

Alleys of brain,

Delve into depths of secrets,

Stored from time long ago,

Pondering whether moment ripe,

To divulge or store intact?

Why burden another,

With same dilemma,

Locked within.

Acknowledgements :- Written in response to #writephoto and Reena’s Exploration Challenge. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.

Pandemic: The New Normal

written by Tessa Dean

March through June 2020

As I gaze unseeingly out the window at the now empty streets and sidewalks, I can hardly remember when everything changed. I listen for my neighbors. They are usually banging in and out of their apartments all day, laughing and shouting at each other. They holler hello as their visitors arrive. Hugging and kissing each other.

The community room is usually busy as people come and go either looking for a book in the small library or gathering in groups to talk and do activities while keeping each other company. One group colors every day. We have painting classes in there twice…
