Living with lockdown Poetry and Dementia corner A poem by Harry Pleavin Living with Lock Down and Dementia, is an experience so strange, With all life’s crazy normalities and pastimes rearranged. Being within two metres of where people gather, is strictly forbidden, Worries, the missing of family, dark thoughts come, albeit unbidden. The television churns out repeat after repeat, Plans for the future must take a back seat. First weeks and now months of conversation lacking, No stimulation, social discourse nor social interacting. Humdrum and boring most of the time, Joking or cheerfulness seen as a crime. May be met with a snarl and eyes that glinting anger, Or by fear and confusion when I am seen as a stranger. Loneliness abounds though I’m not living on my own, Happier with my walks, my books; and maybe living alone. Rather than this serfdom that binds me to dementias needs, As on the brain of my life partner Alzheimer’s feeds. Hang on, think on, what now has changed, How has Covid 19 our lives so rearranged? The answer is little, other than the occasional shopping, Dementia diagnosis, the cause of a normal life stopping.

the activities that they have engaged in include on–line Art Classes, Poetry, Baking, Craft

Coronavirus Poem by Jess
Corona virus has come
It's made everybody scared
People are getting sick
But our whole country cares
We stand on our doorsteps
Every Thursday night
We clap and we cheer Thank You NHS Rainbow By Jess
For the NHS fight
My mummy could get sick
So I can't see my dad
It's things like this
That really make me sad
I know it's because they love me
And are trying to keep me safe
But Being inside all day
Makes me want to escape
Alice and Abi engaged in a rainforest research
While we can't go out
project for school and made a jungle scene out
We'll make memories at home
of paper and card.
And talk to our family
And friends on the phone
One day this will be over
And we'll be happy once more
But until that day
We'll stay behind the door
Well done to our Young Carers in Warrington
