Staying home meditating
Whispers in silence...

Stay at home, away from friends,
Distance averts spread...

Practice social distancing,
Stay locked in, wash hands

How much Social Distancing
Can there really have been
If the Birth Rate rose
During Covid nineteen?...

Wise ones have pled,
“Use your head.
Better six feet apart than dead.”

Men always remember Molly
The girl with the lethal brolly
Get near her skirt
Or try to flirt
And its back to Hello Dolly!...

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Social distancing was forgotten,
Jill came down with Covid 19,
We wish they had been smarter!...

A rogue mosquito wasn't practicing
the fine art of social distancing
so with one vicious wallop
I painted a Jackson Pollack
and hung it in an art gallery...

What are reindeer antlers for
Fighting other reindeer causing gore
Really anti-social
Social distancing tonal
Still need to stock their fridges I'm sure...

making whoopie while social distancing
a most magical and wonderous feat
but you must have a long tool
or become the town fool
as you plead with and stretch out your weenie...

To prevent us from killing one another
social distancing is a wonderful idea
but it should be six miles
instead of six feet
until we learn how to listen 
and respect one another-...

The age of social distancing, rife with existential angst and discontent.
People with cabin fever break quarantine, take to the streets to vent.

I speed-dial her again: “Flatten the curve,
O muse - I’m dry from social distancing.”
“Abundance of caution”, she says. The nerve!
I press redial. “Please, help me write! Dance! Sing!”
Alas, my muse is self-isolating....

Listen to poem:

cold winter less welcome now than ever
forecasting blizzards of sterile social distancing
severe self isolation within frigid landscapes
snow conditions perfect for monk's celibacy

Alone with my thoughts
Ideating solutions of all sorts
The best one will surely out
The rest, the judges will rout

They call it Design thinking
What happened to team working?
Gone with SARS-Cov 2 proliferation
Social distancing without moderation...

Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

Enjoy music with tonic and gin
social distancing is now no sin
avoid  a shake of hands
virus lurks in  the lands
you step out, corona will move in.

Time to take a chill pill and ponder
and gaze into the wide blue yonder
separate need from greed
else nature make us bleed
and mankind may have far to wander.

Bogged down at a red light. 
At Ascension cemetery and St. Mary's drive
I gazed a graveside service.
The mourners spaced few and far between,
mostly in black-still as wet granite.
All were covid masked... properly. 
   
The newly departed performed social distancing-flawlessly.
My prayer was answered when the light turned halo green....

Sobriety is the key,
The missing key all these years,
Covid-19 has taught us moderation,
Muted celebrations,
No scale, pomp or extravagance,
No more crowds,
An uncertain world,
Covid-19 made us rethink,
Social distancing is happening,
Minimalist approaches,
In today’s toxic environments,
We need to come together,
For a better shared future....

Lucifer laughs
gloating about the pandemic
loving our anguish

Keeping us apart
trying our patience
miscommunication and misunderstandings 

Reveling in our sorrow 
And our social distancing
Lucifer thinks he is winning

Not understanding our resiliency
Underestimating our spiritual prowess
Not seeing our faith, misreading the power of prayer...

The red glow of sunrise paints the sky
Families gather as candle light flickers nearby
The ANZAC Service echoes from place to place
This year’s Dawn Service shared in sad grace

The virus has its say on us everyday
Whilst social distancing is our way
Driveway services weaving us together
As the Last Post plays in their memory forever.

Social Distancing

There is fear
Planted by closeness..
By warnings posted in
The world without..
Closeness they say
Will be sharing of a
Microscopic terrorist
Lurking in our breath
Poised to leap when
The distance is right..

Is this admonition 
Begging a turn inward to
Locate that place 
Which is not a place
Where distance dissolves
In a newfound Calm...?...
