Leon Enriquez Poet Haiku

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

~~~~~~~~~
