Best Covid Poems

Silence is deafening
Like a dungeon dark hallway.
Door after close door of bounding
Moans and groans, and painful
Yelling gasping for air.
I sit in this cold
Dark cell shivering with my
Blacken thoughts. 
Am I the only sane one? 
Am I the only healthy one?
They come in and out
At all...

To all the fallen of Covid 19
whose deaths were unrecorded and unseen
To those who languished in intensive care
where Fear unmasked itself to mock each prayer

To mothers shedding tears from dawn till night
while clutching keepsakes of their children tight 
To fathers who must raise their kids...

I wrote two terrible poems last night.
Will this one be another?
I am looking at the clock.
It is time to leave and get the oil changed.
I read the sign as I pull in.
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Mask, No Service.
I don my mask before entering.

I greet...

We're Covid free - restrictions lifted
Shop barriers, they have been shifted
But there’s still a queue
For the ladies loo
Weak bladders, us gals have been gifted!

Bars opened for drinking last night
At closing there’s a stupid fight
Folk have drunk too much beer
And they cannot think clear
These drunken brawls...

How melancholy I yawn then sigh 

When recalling who I was 2 year's
ago just before Covid-19 struck
I was doing alright getting bye ok
But fast forward currently to today 
and I now feel completely different

As luckily enough for me though I have 
not nor a close...

"V"irus now controlling the world.
"I"n every home changes are coming.
"R"un to the store to get what you need.
"U"se peace not fear to escape the stress.
"S"un rises, sun sets with more deaths each day.

(This poem is political satire; 
don't read if you think you may 
be offended. No truth in any of it, 
considered by many to be 
tasteless -- Not meant to be taken 
factually nor literally -- Sincerely, Joe)


New strain of Virus detected
just a minute ago!...

A field of wheat cloaked in dewy silence
the orchestra tunes up with avian arias
bullfrog basses and a choir of cawing crows,
xanthic sunflowers turning their heads to better see,
the daylight trajectory commencing with lazuline layering,
a breeze glissandoes on harps of oak leaves
tomorrow is now today,

Fact Or Fool Who be You

I have seen
fools ranting 
what's up Pink Floyd
No thinkers, no education 
only poets with muse and frustration

The deniers of science
are committing massive crimes
jail should be their only pudding
sadly Covid takes many of them away
I have no sympathy for their ignorant...

A traveling newcomer
explorer of worlds
adventurer
across the seas
from galaxies a far
new universes
such beauty and wonder
a grand tour

earth seems like a second home
breathtaking landscapes, scenery 
diversity
birds and bees
flowers everywhere

the human species there interesting
after a while they started though
to die
in the tens
then thousands
then millions

he was sad
he began so...

(Sung to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "The Duke of Plaza Toro," from The Gondoliers)
 
When all the land did take a stand
When bugs we all were fighting
He led the nation from behind
(He found it more exciting)
But when it came to placing blame
His place...

A monster now has been set free
   in this once land of liberty.
      This 'Frankenstein' divided us
         due to the Covid vaccine fuss.

Glib leaders 'round the table sit-

Another One Shuts Down (Corona virus version)

Gates and boards and reels of wire
Garbage by the gates
Driveway overgrown with grass
The factory is a state

Security checks once an hour
To make sure all's still locked
Another business shut it's door
the economy was rocked

Another workplace bites the dust
Another one shuts...

Sins of the Fools 

Whichever God their dice shall chose
judgment rendered all the same
guilty of crimes against humanity
its a sin and not a game

No one is chosen 
all life is precious
against warlords, uneducated and the cruel
man developed the vaccine
saved the child, the family, even the...

 Poetic Crimes 

On and on
they go
the vaccine makes three heads
and sixteen toes

An elephant trunk
and five giraffe necks
not to mention a terrible
desire for Bill Gates micro softy

The 1600's sure had a basket
of stupid apples
how they bred them youngins
into 2021 is scary

Fools existed from the beginning
they...
