7 Coronavirus Haikus Poem by B. V. Dahlen

Virus Haiku

How quiet the streets
How loud the TV blaring
I prefer the silence

Rudderless

We turn for guidance
From leaders self centered and vain
We're here on our own

Social Gathering

Posies on a mat
My friend remains inside
I ring and turn tail

Look Mommy

Teddy bears in windows
Children's faces light with joy
The great bear hunt starts

From my porch

I wave to neighbors
As they stroll in the sunshine
Greetings help us cope

Shopping

Armed with rubber gloves
I thank busy store cashiers
for their bravery

Sorrow

The weeping cherry
with pale lavender blossoms
reflects my feelings
