Down by Jericho Beach
the trees look guilty
the ocean is ill at ease
no one’s fault, but still…..
the courts are empty
no tennis ball pock pock pock
Canada geese honk
eagles isolate
my face itches like crazy
demands to be scratched
and those ducks, they don’t know squat
about social distancing.

The challenge from Grace over at dverse is to write a poem using personification and/or imagery:
Personification
A figure of speech in which the poet describes an abstraction, a thing, or a nonhuman form as if it were a person.
When I read the prompt I thought of this poem from back in April 2020, I made a small edit.
