Covid Family

I came sneaking around to see what I could see, I saw you long before you saw me. You thought I was friendly, so you went out partying. You did not know I would carry, hurt~pain and death galore. Now my cousins have been around visiting, maybe you have meet Delta and Omicron. You thought a simple vaccination would get rid of us, guess we are here to stay. Proper hygiene~masks~social distancing, may help to keep us at bay. Our family started over sixty years ago, just another flu here to stay. Date Written: 12/30/2021

We just have to all hang in there and work harder to be safe, you are so right. They are out there, and they are looking for us, even if we can't see, hear or smell these dangerous dragons I like how you refer to the two variants as Covid's cousins, creative and scary. I enjoyed the metaphors or symbolism in your poem. It was re-affirming to read. Have a wonderful New Year and thank you for always leaving such kind comments on my little poem page.

Thank You, for reading/writing and for your kind words. Glad you liked this write. It sure would make it easier if you could see/hear/smell these dangerous things so we could stay away. Guess we will see what this year brings. Have a blessed day and New Year 2022.......
