About your last line- 'Can we again dream of a life tranquil', I would rather like to think that our life now is in a better 'tranquil' than it was some months earlier. Nature has put a stop to that frightening rat race for prosperity that we were in! Poet Mj Lemon perhaps shares some of my thoughts.

An excellent limerick that depicts what humanity is experiencing at these times of uncertainty. Yes, Covid 19 delivered us to darkness but we hope and pray that this darkness will come to an end the soonest and makes humanity stronger and more united. So succinct yet so encompassing and with great impact. Brilliantly penned.10+++ Onto my Poem List.

This is an amazing verse, Valsa. There's something about that last line. At once, tranquility remains our dream, yet tranquility is something covid is managing to impose. How do we reconcile this? In some way, this is the crisis we are facing right now. Brilliant, Valsa.

Well expressed anguish over the spread of corona and our survival. Its massive kill is certainly terrible. Let us hope and pray for the best.LOKA SAMASTHA SUKHINO BHAVANTU

Corona has brought the buzzing life to a halt - a standstill. We can always dream of a tranquil future. With prayers that the anxious period ends. Thank you Valsa for this brilliant Limerick......10

CORONA Virus, the danger killer is dancing across the world and put all human beings at their homes. If people will go outside, then this virus will attack. Life is in standstill @! You are absolutely right. After Lock-down also many will fear to go outside but still they will rush. This Limerick is brilliantly written for bringing social awareness! ..10
