Laura Leiser Poet Personification

Micro Menace

I reek havoc on my unsuspecting hosts
hitch a ride on the good cells, then fight 
start all sorts of insufferable symptoms 
watch them cough and sneeze all day. 

I care not, for I have no feelings
wild and unruly, my sole mission is to
make humans hopelessly miserable. 

Though I am minuscule and invisible 
a mini menace to mankind am I
for I am the almighty VIRUS.

Connie Marcum Wong August 21, 2019 at 7:58 PM There is nothing quite like the misery of a virus. I can certainly relate. I had not had one in 2 years but when I finally came down with it, it lasted three months! I enjoyed your take on the contest Laura. Best for a win! xxoo

Getting sick doesn't feel good at all. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis Laura Leiser July 15, 2019 at 4:41 PM Thank you for commenting, Alexis!
