Poem
Two metres apart Is where we start Then self-isolate Before it’s too late Wash your hands Else virus expands Using PPE Helps safety Society shut We all stay put Food shops empty Used to be plenty No supermarket trawl Just Internet haul But what of the old Whose lives now unfold There’s no face-to-face Now virtual place We laugh, we sing, we joke Keeps spirits up for us folk Videos to see WhatsApp glee Woman’s sneeze Toddler flees Toilet roll Not cash he stole Human environmental attack Pandemic weapon – nature fights back World at war Like never before So many go that extra mile Never happened for such a long while Good things can come out of so much pain Self-centred actions we all must refrain Once over it’s time to rethink As humanity steps back from the brink Wake up call For us all #~#~#~# 7 April 2020 *1st Place* Quarantine Poems Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julie Leigh Rodeheaver. In 2022, it was published in PS: It's Still Poetry
