Olivia Hilton-Bell

Olivia Hilton-Bell- Sonnet from Home Isolation

Through the first weeks you could feel the tension

Frantic eyes and quick nervous spectators.

Hobbies cancelled, with a feeling of suspension

Covid nineteen is now among our dictators,

The iron fist has banned all casual shopping.

Toilet paper is the new ice-cream

And a single cough is now so shocking;

If you sneeze it makes the public scream!

We have never spent so long in our rooms,

The wind runs free while we are confined.

In America we watch as rally and riot blooms

They grasp for a society left behind.

The future of the Earth seems so unclear

When will a new catastrophe appear?
