A very deep ocean harbour –
In very windy city –
So calm it is a mirror –
Reflecting the tranquility –
Of a COVID locked down city

Notes to this poem…
Reading Tales from Ovid –
To pass time from COVID –
But sans belovèd –
I didn’t love it
Thus I underwent –
Metamorphosis –
In this room I rent –
Suffering from zoocosis
From reader of verse –
To writer of poetry –
And from that traverse –
Sprung forth my COVIDtry

Notes to this poem…
Noon cannon on Citadel Hill –
Has gone silent
Ironically –
When a new war has begun –
One fought without guns –
But rather with self-isolation

Notes to this poem…
Can the novel Coronavirus –
Be made into –
A novelette Coronavirus?
It seemed whomever
Called the Coronavirus “novel” –
Gave it a far more apt name
Than he could have imagined –
Given the long and complex stories
It’s generating around the world
