CORONA COCOON

To dawn i bow in deep respect

The action of hope in effect


 Again engines are rumbling 

The wheels of industry turning

Traffic jams in the streets piling

Return to old can we accept


The new normal landed for sure

Oh it was so quiet before

When we hid in our homes or

Just stayed indoors because we wept


Family and friends swept away

A wave called corona keeps all at bay

Yet  with vaccine and caution may

We creep out of cocoon adept

  1. I pray we can emerge from this cocoon Gillena. I must say, since that ball dropped on 1/1/2020, things have gotten mighty weird.

  2. I love this - so apt for today's times. I am also happy that you tried the couplet, followed by the quatrians. I feel you when you wrote we wept when we stayed indoors with so many deaths.

    Here in Canada, we can go out but with a proof of vaccination receipt. This is no problem as most of us here 80% are fully vaccinated. Hope all is good with you.

  3. I hope people will be able to go out and about again soon! I hope people are getting vaccines and are being cautious in T&T. Here in the US we have too many crazy, ignorant people.

  4. I think we are more cautious than crazy here. Thank God for that.

    Happy you dropped by Merill

  7. We've all been through the wringer and back again. Hoping that some net good comes out of this mess. Timely and well-articulated offering, as usual, Gillena.

  14. Gillena,
    You speak for us all. It's just like the tide has (almost) washed away the past year and a half. It was good to hear the Norway chief of health say that covid could now be considered like the common flu.
