Living in the Time of a Relentless Pandemic
Mikeydred's Third Poetic Challenge - Linda Rivenbark
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.
