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.
