For Poets and Story Tellers United Weekly Scribblings #15 ~~ COVID -19 Quarantine Histories~ What Keeps Me Occupied .~


                 

Captain Grey African-  Grand kids Pet came to stay for three weeks -stay extended now
The Lock down began strictly on the evening of 20th March. We got some groceries-milk vegetables flour but no peanuts  for the parrot. A quick check had listed fruit and root vegetables as part of his diet.So a relief to know that he could eat carrots and apples too... five weeks now..still no peanuts as shops are closed. 




Photographing the sky at different times of the day has been a major activity other than praying cooking  laundry and late night creative writing attempts...

A Poem on Covid~19 


O’ Tiny Circular Spiky Red Corona Virus
unseen you landed on the planet in silence
invading breathing lungs and airy spaces
sending all under  roofs, covering faces

All ages threatened as all humans are same
some say it’s a hoax some ‘a political game
patent no is different, event is 201- unseen
but contagious, named all over as Covid -19

Killing people to clean the world is cruelty
whoever believes it so, many call it penalty
they know they broke the law, to score –Ah
but would they live to wear the crown –Bah!

Whatever theories are circulating-Covid-19
is bent on killing,changing rules of cleaning
life will not be the same free will, but fear
will stay, care and values of life - dear.

Good to see you here again! Even if the topic is grim. True, life will not be the same; I pray we all survive. I'm glad the bird can eat carrots and apples.

I am amazed at the attitude of people who still say this is a hoax. I think someone should buy them a dictionary.

The thing is not to question, how but rather to heed all cautions in an attempt to flatten the curve and at the same time stay hopeful and be appreciative of our new set of earth heroes, there at the front lines in the war against this novel corona
Thanks for dropping by my blog today
Easter Blessings

Sadly so many people ignore the warnings and carry on as usual endangering their own and others lives.

I like how you directed this poem to the virus itself.

You're right: When this pandemic finally ends (not anytime soon, I'm afraid), life on Earth will be changed forever. It's a sobering thought.

It's incredible how some people are still not taking the situation seriously.

I know of someone who believes it is all a terrorist attack that was known a year before. Takes all kinds!
