Poems about Covid

 by Nathaniel Gingell





Haiku

Two years of lockdown

Life is closed but minds are free

Paused for a rebirth


Sonnet

‘He shall not breathe infection in this air’

Today a wicked knave who doth not live.

Of which most will say it is not so fair-

All shall admit just mercy it not gives,

Forcing society’s isolation.

Mental or physical it matters not,

Ruination of many-a nation.

It causes much death, for bodies to rot.

Hope is there but yet is seeming distant,

Moving forward, the finale is getting closer.

The end is in sight; it is existent

Renaissance is near; this is disclosure.

Humanity’s rebirth; Hope it almost devoured,

Men, Women, had survived; Will Not Cower.


*Line 1-Shakespeare quote, Henry VI Part 2, Act 3, Scene 2
