It It The End of The World?

This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends in the Vocal Social Society. I will include a suitable video as well.

The challenge is “give me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.

This is from Linda Rivenbark:

Subject: Living in the Time of a Relentless Pandemic.

Words: Care, Love, Health, Lessons and Hope

֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎֎

Care for the ones closest to your Heart

Show Love, Keep Safe, This Is Just The Start

Lockdown Behind Locked Doors, For Your Health

Lessons Learned To Look After Yourself

֎֎

This Relentless Pandemic Endless

We Keep Our Hope Safe, Never Hopeless

Protect Ourselves, To Protect Others

We Are All Now Sisters and Brothers

֎֎

Everyday Challenges Renew

Another Jab Will Keep Us Safe, True

Not Sure How Long Til Next Mutation

This The Virus That Floored A Nation

We Are Still Here, And Each Day We Cope

Closer And Closer, Another Hope
