Lea Colak- Sonnet from Home Isolation
Wishing I could sleep in, but I have school,
I’m up and ready for the online meet,
I can’t see friends or do anything cool,
Instead I’m mute, wondering what to eat.
Everything is closed, with nowhere to go,
TV blares the long ‘short-term’ restrictions,
Reminder of freedom we used to know,
All that is left are useless predictions.
A virus spreads, the whole world is manic,
Palm in palm, everyone works together.
Health workers and scientists in a panic,
Rest stuck inside, calm as the April weather.
I wish people would listen and stay clean,
So that we can get out of quarantine.
