Dad's Daily Isolation Poems

I set this account up as my 68 year old dad has been sending daily poems to the family to cheer us up since we have been on lockdown! Let's share the love!

Summer in the city
Now not so gritty
Clean and pretty

Fox on Grafton Street
What a treat
Hard to beat

Liffey looking swell
No smell
Fish aswell

Tour's on O'Connell Street
No tourists to greet
Now obsolete

A walk in Temple Bar
No sound of guitar
So bizarre

The lion is king
Big and strong
People sing
Word's of the song

Leo our leader
Calm and clear
No one better
To curb our fear

Leo, the man
Soft and strong
With a plan
Guiding us along

Now there is light
A big Thank You
Ireland recite
To Leo and crew

Go raibh maith agat

Thank you to Alice, aged 13 for sending me a poem she has written about #Covid19. Wish I was as good at writing at 13 as she is - or indeed at any age! Keep well Alice 😀

@SimonHarrisTD Poems are a great way to express how we are feeling. Thank you Alice. It helps me too!

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Tulip's around
All abound
Spring is here
Air is clear
Bird's are singing
Nature winning
Rustle in the tree's
Light breeze
Walk in the park
Song of the lark
Rivers flowing fast and clear
Kingfisher fly above the weir
World blooming
Life resuming
Something strange
Maybe a change

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Coronavirus has me mad
Not a pint of Guinness to be had!

Getting old is not so bad
Lovely memories to be had
Day trips to Brady
Dart all the way
Fish and chips on the beach
Keep the seagulls out of reach
A walk along the promenade
A lovely day can be had
Alas those days are no more
Everyday a bloody bore

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Not a soul on the street
A friend to greet
Sun high in the sky
nobody call's hi
Silence all around
No friend to be found
No shake of the hand
Saying 'weather is grand'
It's the Irish way, to welcome the day

Just give them the finger 😆

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

This is no longer funny
The country is in a state
We have run out of money
Creditors at the gate

Another bailout on the way
Banks shedding crocodile tears
Smiles gone away
Everybody in arrears

When the banks come to call
Don't let them linger
When the tears start to fall

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Here to cure us
They are our Superman
They are our Superwoman

#COVID19 #coronavirus #IsolationLife

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

They enter with no fear
Their mind so clear
Ready for the test
They give off their best
Among all the tears
They quell our fears
With a smile on their face
Visit the first case
This is above brave
A life to save
Say a prayer
For the people who care
Doctors and nurses

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Today my poem is simple
Let's see that smile
Let's see that dimple
See you in a while

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Son and daughter in law safe in their home
Dont be sad
Nothing is ever that bad
Very soon
good times will be had

#COVID19 #coronavirus #Isolation @DublinLive @thejournal_ie

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

On an evening like this
Do I really exist
No friends around
All house bound.
Beyond that door is everything I long for
Family I miss
Grandkids for hug and a kiss.
Daughter for dinner, always a winner
Son in law hums 'you will never walk alone'

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Need to be by your side

[Dad's Daily Isolation Poems @DadIsolation]

Grandparents are the best
Like a warm soft vest
A woolly rug
A bear hug
Best Advice
Kind and nice
Sloppy kiss
Things I miss

Over these dark days
We must change our ways
Visits at the gate
Not so great
We need to be near
To allay our fear
We don't like to hide
