Ninety-Seventh Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary
possessed
by viral demons for weeks
my old friend
paints the walls black
and covers the windows
FYI: More people calling mental health help line as pandemic drags on: callers dealing with anxiety, family stress, problems with drugs and alcohol (CBC News, July 28)
Added: Ninety-Eighth Entry:
meteor shower
peaking on this night
of the outbreak --
across my skylight
a glimmer of hope

Please give me feedback on these poems:
ReplyDeleteTanka:
Nasal swab uptown
COVID took my appetite
Packed onto the bus
Gratitude, love, joy and pain
Take the bitter with the sweet.
Haiku:
Hazel's fiery strikes.
Moonbeams aglow on the roof
Wish upon a star.
Senryu:
Fuzzy old yard dog
Corgi no match for her love
Let the trumpets play.
I have written 135 poems, mostly from southern rural African American perspective but I am not connected to any community of poets yet. I desire to publish my work but need some feedback.
