we all sit here alone
wondering when
pondering how
without you
weeping so
creeping low
waiting for strength
lost the time
on the climb
we are all not alone
in that reality
we find solidarity
not really
we all sit here alone
wondering when
pondering how
without you
weeping so
creeping low
waiting for strength
lost the time
on the climb
we are all not alone
in that reality
we find solidarity
English 802 Spring 2020 
This is a beautiful piece! The short lines say just enough to convey the message of being united in our isolation. I really love your lines “wondering when pondering how.” During this uncertain time, reading those four words, I know exactly the feeling you’re talking about. All we can do is wait this out and attempt to maintain sanity in the meantime.

This poem was great I thought it had a lot of character to it! I think the flow was choppy ish, but I think that was on purpose from the impression I got from the poem. I think that we are all not alone, but we certainty aren’t with our friends.

I thought this poem had a lot of deep meaning. It made me think that there is a sense of comfort in being alone. You never have to depend on anybody but yourself, which can make things simpler but also sad.
