Best Poems Written by Reagan Dobbs

Covid-19

Disaster, devastation, death and destiny
Headlines, slay us every day
Not since some time-past history
Were people stricken - this terrible way

Self-isolate and stay indoors
Restrictions with fines or time away
No longer can we feed our mores
But food and exercise, work is ok

It feels surreal, it's like a dream
Financial stuff, we handled well
Chook flu, SARS, MERS, seen and been
Covid-19, time will tell

Early, people reason slipped
Control and manners something past
Basic items scare or clipped
A moment there, then taken fast

Masks, gloves - social distance we make
Two in number is allowed
Border closures, states do make
Vaccine will find - government avows

Pain and hurt is spread worldwide
Striking elder, and also young
Doctors, careers, no place to hide
From bats in Asia, they say it sprung

It's early days and seems ok 
But time to come, will tell
Hope is governed, by news each day
Life, by the toll of the bell
