Creative Connections Poem by John Sensele

We can't hug and kiss friends
In observing corona virus social distance
We should innovate social demonstration trends
In this unusual circumstance and instance

But as tactile social creatures
We cannot exacerbate loneliness
Through social fibre raptures
Worsening and heightening sadness and a sense of emptiness

We can conquer through a phone call
A social media message
To make friends feel taller in their residence hall
By delivering a timely virtual massage

Without which an isolation sense can grow
Making friends more vulnerable
More than they deserve to feel in a row
Creating a false impression that's deplorable.
