Contagion Poems | Examples

contagion

the song bird’s tremolo sent a shiver down her spine
through a crack in melancholy and exasperation
with a sigh she vowed to notice the voice in her head

transparent epiphanies struck a chord with quaint joy
that she was alive despite sorrow and cascading despair
what had seemed a lullaby was merely a new beginning

Contagion

Sit back and enjoy the celestial view,
you’ve climbed a volcano to get there.
I wish for every star to shine upon you. 

The definition of ‘Dreams Come True’
step out in front watch them all stare. 
Sit back and enjoy the celestial view.

Every wall faced you pummeled through
even when the starting line was unfair. 
I wish for every star to shine upon you.

Knowing that one and one equals two
building blocks don’t lead to a scare. 
Sit back and enjoy the celestial view.

Head down, plot, sip that cold brew,
flip the Powers That Be a high end swear. 
I wish for every star to shine upon you. 

Their jealousy is a neverending flu, 
don’t let that contagion ruffle your hair. 
Sit back and enjoy the celestial view,
I wish for every star to shine upon you.

Contagion

a Senryu poem

Oh, that my love were 
contagious - you’d catch it and love
me, as I do you.

Ahh-choo!

Viral Contagion

the chambers of Auschwitz are never far away

ashes do not disperse genocide that easily

cracked skulls in Rwanda don’t break away

from bone master’s lost conscience

agent orange is not yet whiter than white

Saigon holds more memories than a musical

killing fields in Cambodia famine in the Yemen

should speak a clear message to what true hardship is


all I have to do is wear a mask and wait for an injection

though there is no vaccination yet for stupidity

in the face of what is a minor incursion of freedom

compared to slaughter and crusades for a false crown

Covid Vaccine

Causative agent of disease
One of several variants to appease
Void of any discriminating abstractions
Interaction breeds human contagion
Distress inflamed in us by slow vaccination

Vaccine does diminish Covid effects
Antigen activity does reject
Chills that instill fear among us
Coughs that grip lungs, with expulsion dubious
Immunizations, please make haste
Never ending cautions are relentless
Ensuring man’s safety is quite precarious	.

Contain Contagion

C-ontain contagion of poison, 
R-epel rabidity of virus; 
I-solate the positive person, 
S-top the threat so serious.
T-ry to contain contagion
I-n each and every country; 
N-eatly bring it to oblivion, 
E-liminate the mystery: 

J-ust contain contagion
O-f the monster's morbidity; 
Y-ou should control the infection, 
C-areful steps make it
E-asy.

M-asks contain contagion, 
A-s they combat the dirt; 
N-egate the contamination, 
G-rime can cause pain and hurt.
U-pend the eerie epidemic, 
R-epulse the alarming affliction; 
A-bate the parlous pandemic, 
Y-ou must contain contagion.

Contagion

amazing
     how quick joy spreads
           it casts 
               so wide a net
                    much like a virus.

starting with 
     a host, 
          it spreads out;
               wildfire 
                    engulfing...
 
all that it 
     captures here and there.
          a wondrous contagion!
               joy...
                    makes the world go round!

Cruel Contagion

M-itigate the cruel contagion
O-f the invisible illness; 
N-ullify the dreaded danger, 
A-nd the spreading sickness.

N-egate the rabid risk, 
A-bate the contamination; 
T-otally erase the virus, 
E-liminate the cruel contagion.
