Here’s a thread of some of them, beginning with ‘Serenity Prayer’, back in March.
Here’s a poem on establishing a routine when having to work from home (March).
This poem examines the terror of leaving the house and encountering another human being (April).
Some helpful comparative guidance concerning social distancing (April).
A poem about my cat during the first lockdown (April).
A poem about a pandemic of another kind (May).
Some notes and clarifications from the government concerning what activities were permissible (May).
Two poems concerning Dominic Cummings and his infamous trip to Barnard Castle.

(And yes, I know ‘Frome’ does not rhyme with ‘home’).
A poem about the daily briefing (June).
A poem about my busy social life.
A poem which documents the alarming outbreak of Matt Hancock in my house (September).
A poem about listening to the news and the football scores and the tally of the dead (November).
A poem in which I try to return 2020 to the shop (December).
And finally, a poem which gives a month-by-month account of my year in haiku form (December).
