even quarantined 
some sparks amid the darkness…
            fireflies in a jar

               COVID-19...

COVID-19 put her in bed
Quarantined out in the shed
So what could she do
But play peek-a-boo
With the doctor, vicar, and Fred?...

Another day like a gerbil on a wheel clip, 
Running 'round the house... 
Stayin' in the same place 

I think I'll go shovel some rain...

(Unsuitable For Orientation)


Tis preposterous to me
To suggest that we
Are the brightest beings in space;

I believe
That aliens keen
Have quarantined our race....

We have a dear old friend, name of Cyrus
Went to China and got that darn virus
  Poor guy has been quarantined
  In a yellow submarine
Told him, "If you recover please wire us"...

My meaning was mistaken
and her offense was taken
so in defense she quarantined her soul,
and safe inside she set
her screens for self-protection,
so she is always in control....

Teach That Beach Is Out of Reach

there are things we teach
had been having fun at beach
now is out of reach

Jim Horn

All beaches have been 
quarantined and no 
surfing any more....

They had run out of vaccine and resigned

Peace spread like a mushroom cloud of goodwill

For the war on mercy there was no pill

In puzzled surrender they quarantined

Apocalyptic breaches 
can destroy eternity; 
for glorious heights 
indulge jumping 
knowledge; Limitations 
may never over power 
quarantined rights, 
seperate toxins, unite 
volcanoes' windows 
exploding years. Zap!...

I will be your Olive Oyl
Slim as spinach reed,
Cling to me like plastic foil;
Bluto quarantined

Old maids can deny my fame
Need I flaunt my charm?
Two men fighting for my name,
Olive, take my arm!

Long have I skipped along
The razor thin edge between
The things that keep me strong
And others that keep me quarantined

Afraid to settle down
Because normal is just so weird
I guess it's time to get around
The plain life I've always feared...

Yesterday we complained over, familiar routine
We longed for a break from the American dream
But things have, since, changed
The world rearranged 
Now complaining to walls, about life, quarantined

She was pregnant
                                   She named her daughter Emilia
                                          She was quarantined

                                              Daughterfreed

Pandemic a word I did not know
or remember
because I did not have to

Virus a word I knew but never 
truly understood and still do not
I am more familiar with flu

Shelter in place
Something beyond my grasp
Quarantined heard of but not understood

Until now.
The Twilight Zone
A place I never thought I would have to live…....

Just a girl and her Flute 
quarantined by the ocean 
watching the waves rippling in front of her. 

Just a girl and her Flute 
quarantined by the ocean 
watching kayakers peacefully paddling by. 

Just a girl and her Flute 
quarantined by the ocean 
watching kids exploring the beach.

I'm just a girl 
sitting on a bench 
quarantined by the ocean with my flute...

Sad days;
Virus attacks-
Deaths daze.

Wash hands,
Stay quarantined-
Heed bans.

Slowed pace
Many unknowns-
Fears face.

Restoring
  normality
    to this
        topsy-turvy
           self-quarantined world,

vaccines are
  a true 
    game changer,
        and like
           a Phoenix

rising from
  yesterday's ashes, 
     hope morphs into a smile
        on
           many sad faces.

Quarantined,
New levels of Covid 19,
Everyone desperate for a vaccine,
Is this all apocalyptic?

Is the end coming soon?
Is Jesus finally descending
Amidst all this evil around us?

Only God knows if Armageddon
Is upon us.
Plagues, pestilence, floods,
Earthquakes--all signs
Of this earth ending.

Prayer is our only answer
To end this apocalypsis
And save ourselves....

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves

eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh

fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked

callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

Quarantined, you're stuck behind panes of glass,

depriving you of physical contact.

Goodbyes get exchanged like a fumbled pass,

sorta clumsy, putting on a brave act.

Ah, maw, we’ll visit you here on the grass

however long it takes, and that's a fact.

A thing I'd never seen before
A spider dwelt above my door,
Him or his web I'd never seen
Until we all got quarantined.

Things you miss, you never see,
For more than half the time you're out,
Now that we are stuck indoors
We can sit and look about.

The funny quirks my dog displays
Nooks and crannies come to light,
In the slow lane, time to look
At things oft hid from fleeting sight....

When the invincible demon stretched 
Its ferocious nails and dumped
liveliness to the self quarantined hell ...
Men started treating men as animals and 
Hunted their souls at door steps .

When the blood sucking vampires(Virus) 
Vanquished our brothers for no reasons 
Every thing became far cry for us ..till the 
Real messiah appears from the sky and 
Taking away the unknown sins from us....

Tears are knocking at my eyes door
shut tight more and more
The knock is now harder, stronger
I can't deny them access anylonger
I will open and flood
the world with tears of blood

I'm quarantined in dark cubicle
Turning around in mighty circles
Lovely birds singing
Nice bells ringing
Beautiful butterflies swarming
Smiling sun warming
Outside my enclosure
All of these pleasures
sour to my dying senses...
