Haiku Poise 1
Discern choice anew
Curb contagious flair;
Bear home isolation
~~~~~~~~~
Deadly disease strain
Global pandemic;
Lockdowns, lockout
~~~~~~~~~
Chaotic uncertainty
Disruptions everywhere;
Normalcy devastated
~~~~~~~~~
Fear strangles
Panic erupts;
Empty shop shelves
~~~~~~~~~
Coronavirus outbreak
Pneumonia strangles;
A deadly frontier
~~~~~~~~~
Social distancing
Sea of surgical masks;
Fear hounds panic
~~~~~~~~~
Bad news anchors
Tragedy gains currency;
Death and suffering
~~~~~~~~~
Dire consequences
Desperate circumstances;
Coronavirus apathy!
~~~~~~~~~
Be humble yet
Pray for wise help;
Let faith prevail
~~~~~~~~~
Careless humanity
Viral terror strikes;
Push panic button
~~~~~~~~~
Luna light lingers
Days excrete toll;
Decipher decay
~~~~~~~~~
