Listen to poem:

Panicking the Pandemic

Deciphered deceptions that the summer brings, As the cathedrals crumble for the corona Kings… Units ubiquitous unleashed with sweeping strings, Infectious isolation internal as the contagious clings… The wounded wander amongst the Hellion hordes, Where the good battle evil with spiritual swords… Incurable innocence isolated within their wards, Inoculable irritations brought by the overlords… Pestiferous pestilence penetrates through the veil, Miasmatic megalomaniacs marauding their fail… Incoherent illusions of their toxicant slaving scale, For the mephitic wars will end and Love shall prevail. ...stay safe while spreading prayers, peace & love, not the Virus...

A good choice for its worthy placement. You handle a difficult form and transcend its bounds beyond the ordinary and catapult the reader into a yet to be fully explored realm of poetic expression. Congratulations.

Hi WW, another excellent poetic gem flows from your pen. Panic seems to be the norm'. Already, people are playing the blame game. You write in such a powerful way on this subject. Such strong images are painted in the mind as one does read down your lines. Wishing you all the best for the contest. Stay safe, my friend. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Your friend always....Mike.
