Beautifully penned sir. Explicit portrayal of how to keep oneself sound and healthy. Sir you reminded me to write my poetry on this topic but I'm not getting good words, so I have held it. The lonely streets The chirpy birds And my presence That fill the space. Golden is this hour Blooming what's under Hidden for year Forgetting to rise ever. Well expressed sir

The good and bad of lockdown state. It gives an opportunity to see the world in a different way, away from hustle of busy life. You can watch nature and enjoy its many forms. You can see coffins being taken to graveyards. This is the sad part. The last stanza is beautiful. Those who escape death are lucky. Enjoy the poem.

'During the lock down we are getting more time to think and ink' - yes, and also to peek at othes' works. That is why you can find me visiting you more often than earlier. Thanks for the comment, @Akhtar Jawad.
A moving write about the life in covid-19 lock down.The lock down has given us also an opportunity to see life differently.The last stanza is very meaningful and heart touching. Some has to change their addresses From temporary to a permanent Locked Down state. They move alone in coffins, with unfamiliar faces, While their families mourn, remaining ‘Locked Down'!
Thanks for quoting from my poem, that's a great inspiration! 'The lock down has given us also an opportunity to see life differently' - yes, indeed! It will leave a permanent stamp in the history of mankind, I guess. Much inspired by your comment, @Bharati Nayak.
A great poem of introspection. This virus has brought many the pain and grief of losing their loved ones, all are in our thoughts.Your poem expresses all the emotions beautifully that we are going through. Stay safe and stay well.
'This virus has brought many the pain and grief of losing their loved ones' - yes. Sadly, my nephew (my elder sister's youngest son) , a cardiologist himself and a frontline healthcare provider, died of COVID-19. He and his physician wife both tested positive. He died on the third day leaving behind his widow and two minor sons. Luckily, his wife has survived. Now his 77 year old father is fighting for life due the same disease, alone in the hospital.
Thank you @Savita Tyagi, for reading my poem and sharing your kind thoughts here. I have read some of your poems today, some here and some on your blog page, and commented on one. Loved your biography.

The ultimate stanza is very poignant. My heart goes to those departed who have been swept away early by this great pandemic. Liked how you imbued spirituality in this marvelous write. It gives us hope. A prayer is that constant force that will shield us from the evil arms of this great destroyer. A great poem. Onto my Poem List.

The tempest! ! Lockdown! Days are passing by! ! Facing the odds of coronavirus. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Yes, life has taken a sudden reversal with lockdown. But as there can be 'method in madness', in this time of routine affairs, there is much scope for variety! We get more time to look inside and focus more on the familiar sights that can be seen through one's window. Amid all anxiety and the pall of death, life can be still made meaningful through prayers and being at peace with oneself! On reading this poem, I too saw what you saw through your window.
'Amid all anxiety and the pall of death, life can be still made meaningful through prayers and being at peace with oneself! ' - Exactly so, thank you, @Valsa George. 'On reading this poem, I too saw what you saw through your window' - I am much inspired by this last line of your comment.
A wonderful poem revealing your daily deeds and thoughts while the state is in a 'Locked Down' state! Appreciated and admired..........Top score!
Thanks, Dr Dillip K Swain, for 'appreciating and admiring' my humble effort. Much inspired by your generous appraisal.
Due to lock-down days are passing in different manner. But lock-down is different for free birds. Birds love freedom of flying. This is good that you spend your time by listening music. The Order of Lock Down has locked us down. We have to say indoor. One day we can defeat the Corona virus. This poem is very wonderfully penned.
Thank you for for visiting my page and appreciating this poem, @Kumarmani Mahakul. You are right, when the humans are 'lockeddown', the animals and birds are free to roam around and fly out at their free will.

When you get a whiff of boredom. you look ourside your window or into your bookcase. We [you] should post your poem all over the internet to show people there is a lot of life in lock-down! ! 10+++++++++
