Sunlite Wanter Poet Sonnet

My Heart Holds a Pandemic

To think I’m now a hermit,
Cloistered in my home,
Haven’t been outside except on my deck,
And even then alone.

I phone in now my groceries,
Amazon is more than busy.
I just found on the porch 24 little gel cups,
And see a house dress is on its way.

I don’t understand myself.
Maxie and I are content.
Seems like I don’t want anyone,
Where has everyone gone and “went?”

I’ll saunter into watch NBC,
Cause I’m scared to death just to be.

Jennifer Proxenos May 23, 2020 at 9:56 AM HI Sunlite Wanter - lets think of things like a vaccine in a years time, our economy rising, a holiday by the coast with no fear, no distancing because we have had the vaccine, no fear of a pandemic for, we are save, we have had the vaccine, even if there are one or two pockets appear here or there in the world, people won't die, because we have all had a vaccine, let us pray fervently for that vaccine which science and medicine will come up with soon. Blessings my friend Jennifer.
