 Welcome to My Poetry Site

The corona catastrophe


Silently shrill

a silent chill

seems to have run down the spine

of our blue planet windmill

So many deceased

Too many ill

mounting and surmounting

 the healthcare bill

Breathing for many

 is like climbing uphill

or like panting on

your home treadmill

And it's frightening when

there is nil a pill.

A minute invisible

virus doth kill .

Pray to God for mercy

bow and kneel!

Many are dying

 without a will

 It's safer to stay home

 by the window sill

The world seems to have come

to a standstill

You now have time to sharpen

your poetic quill

In lockdown pray

and ink still spill

You may hone

your poetic skill

Until the virus

has had its fill.

Corona they say feels like drowning

like a fish without a gill

for we can't breathe

like the eel or krill.

In mouths hot water

flush and swill

Exterminate this virus?

only God can and will.
