Coronavirus Covid 19

I’ve had enough of chicken soup,
it always tastes the same;
as COVID-19 sweeps the world 
and leaves our loved ones lame,
Poetrysoup is just the thing
to ease away the pain. 
Just today, in Italy, 
I read that neighbors sing,
through open windows across the streets
while kept in quarantine. 
Here, we neighbors of the world
now open up our screens,
and gather up our thoughts and words
and let our heartstrings sing. 
The music of our keyboards carries far,
more quickly than a sneeze, 
to make our fellow human beings
feel much more at ease. 
Nearly neighbor, unseen friend,
let us share our songs,
across the streets of data bits,
no matter what the wrong.

This post is an excellent poem, my brother of God's inspirational grace, Jack. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message and descriptive excellence. The theme is excellent, and the tone moves the poem with much grace. Great job!

Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!

Brilliant! I really enjoyed your poem. My favourite lockdown video I found online was the guy playing his saxophone from a balcony. So uplifting, I watched it over and over again. Have a good day.
