Covid 19 Poems

Covid 19

She lies in her bed

sick as a

old prune

Face mask and

social distancing

have left few family

members at her side

She suffers inside

Lungs collapsing like

dominoes

Her lethargic frame

all the more fragile

Covid 19 a diagnosis

so troubling it need no

introduction

Her body succumbing to

Its symptoms

Cough after cough

The loss of taste

or smell

How the virus

has left its mark

Social Distancing

No neighbors to greet

Face mask wearing in the

streets

Business are closed

People are out of work

The virus has been

a disaster of epic portions

Each day spent in quarantine

Some spent five feet away from

the nearest person

Is he or she sick?

Will I get the virus?

Do I want a vaccination?

Troubling disruptions

Facing the nation

Social distancing the bitch

that keeps on pushing

the limits

Pandemic

Flue or global pandemic

Covid

No gimmick

Hand sanitizers

Gloves

Victims

Survivors

The irony of the

moment
