Long Pends Poems

Dreaded Droplet

J-eopardy of dreaded droplet
O-nerously attacks the mouth; 
S-trike is felt all over the world, 
E-ndangering the East, West, North, and South.
P-andemic plague in dreaded droplet
H-orribly hurts nose by surprise; 
I-nvisible infection from Wuhan
N-astily assaults everyone's
E-yes.

B-arbaric brutality of dreaded droplet
U-ses the fearsome fever; 
E-erie epidemic of sickness
N-otoriously lets lungs suffer.
A-trocious ailment in dreaded droplet
V-iciously threatens the throat; 
E-xcruciating thing in silence
N-efariously brings risk to the boat.
T-he World Health Organization
U-pends the global fret; 
R-estrictions and lockdowns
A-bate the dreaded droplet.
