Ode to Corona

Web Admin 06/03/2020     Articles, Poetry

By Randee Mia Berman

Was planning a trip to Verona

But now we’re trounced by Corona

We’re all in a panic

We’re getting quite manic

Next year in Barcelona?

The virus wickedly spreadin’

So where in the world is this headin’?

Some stay quite calm

Like we ‘re in a sitcom;

Others feel it’s like Armageddon.

Optimism starting to sink?

Try an opposite think

Reverse the brain

Against gluten grain

Turn charcoal gray to pink!

The glass is 1/2 sipped

The wires 1/2 tripped 

The light beams fantastic

Though measures are drastic

The globe is 1/2 gripped

The path is prickly clear

But I choose to persevere

Just look up at the moon

Dancing over the Dune

Half full she doth appear.
