Leon Enriquez Poet Haiku

Haiku Poise 2

Hot soup here
Keeping at arms length;
Face mask call-signs

~~~~~~~~~


Antiseptic atmosphere
Pockets of isolation;
Together yet distanced

~~~~~~~~~


Empty public places
Ghost town feeling;
Pandemic toll

~~~~~~~~~


Lockdown hits hard
Widespread anxiety;
Fear chokes worry

~~~~~~~~~


Global bad news
Broken economies;
A tragic retreat

~~~~~~~~~


Just a small virus
Strangles our mortality;
Deadly lung infection

~~~~~~~~~


Across the world
Colour blind viral works;
Shades of Spanish flu

~~~~~~~~~


News flash
Death toll peaks;
More on the way

~~~~~~~~~


Dangerous liaisons
Gatherings banned;
Contagious consequences

~~~~~~~~~


At last the moon
Styles luna fancy;
Magnetic convergence

~~~~~~~~~


Scary phenomenon
Downtown ghost town;
Crowded disappearance

~~~~~~~~~


Stay at home
Internet escalation;
Social creatures chained

~~~~~~~~~
