Gerald Greene Poet Sonnet

Covid-19 Diary

I started a Corona diary
today, recording what is happening,
and how it’s impacting my family,
as we adhere to social distancing.

There’s more than just one minor risk involved,
that causes us to give this germ wide berth,
to mitigate this problem, not yet solved,
impacting every life on planet Earth.

Most stores are closed, and factories are si-
lent, in a fateful effort to preserve
all lives, both young and old, as we apply
new rules, in hopes to flatten out the curve.

So, here I am ensconcing with my wife,
recording Covid’s changes to my life.

Sandra Adams April 27, 2020 at 6:05 AM it's eerily quiet without the hum of factories and the magnitude of cars on the roads... a diary is a good idea … hopefully this is a once in a lifetime event and the diary would be something to reflect back upon in many years to come! stay safe! Gerald Greene April 27, 2020 at 6:21 AM my diary already shows perspective of events. What happened a few weeks ago, seems so much further away.
