Covid 19: This Is A Summer Like No Other Poem by Sheena Blackhall

That one small germ should bring such bother
Cities in lockdown, less footfall
This is a summer like no other

Medical staff work undercover
A few move to a funeral pall
This is a summer like no other

Scientists race, cures to discover
Vaccines to make this sickness stall
This is a summer like no other

Gasping like fish, the stricken suffer
Funerals shrink, grow sore and small
This is a summer like no other

Daughter must isolate from mother
Too dangerous to make a call
This is a summer like no other

We're told, stay inside to recover
Around the globe, staff police each mall
This is a summer like no other
When businesses go to the wall
Pray for each family, friend and lover
