Each day this week I will publish a short 4-line verse, each one commencing with a well-known line, sometimes adapted to suit the context, from a renowned published poem. The general theme is that of Isolation.
Thomas Gray: Pastiche #5
( ‘Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray )
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
Another week in isolation spent
So give a cheer to all, ‘cos we’re still here,
Despite the trials that we underwent.
I am enjoying testing myself on the line once I see the name of the poet. Another good one

Thanks, Derrick. Adds some levity to my incarceration!
