Shaun Cronick Poems

Pandora's Jar.
Has once again been reopened...
Black Death.
Spanish Flu.
...

The Eyes of Darkness is a 1981 novel,
Written by Dean Koontz.
In it there is a reference to a killer virus,
A man made virus created in Wuhan, China.
...

It, comes to us as no big surprise,
Of a writer who loves to terrorize.
His imagination does horror bring,
The living legend Mr Stephen King.
...

They're dead Mr President! All dead!
The Roswell saucer crash survivors.
The Greys.
They're are all dead, sir.
...

Oh! To be back in a high balloon,
Looking down on the beautiful Serengeti.
Damn its popped and down we plummet,
We'll end up looking like spaghetti!
...

Oh! Be so careful for what you wish for...
For it one day maybe magically granted.
And there is always a heavy price to pay,
To leave you so very, very disenchanted.
...

There was me, Tom, Dick and Sally,
We joyfully played in our valley.
Tom, I know he moved away,
Never heard from to this day.
...

It was a brisk autumn day in 1863,
As clouds rolled by floating free.
At Gettysburg where thousands died,
Now peacefully sleeping side by side.
...

In me they trust,
I pose no threat.
Their only mistake,
With doomed regret.
...

I'll always wear a mask,
Even when shopping online.
Call me foolish even irresponsible,
Or just simply asinine.
...
