Corona Haiku

I joined a Facebook group called Corona Haiku on March 28, 2020.                                              Here are some haiku that I submitted.

March 28

Torn between wanting
to know what’s going on and
not wanting to know

March 28

Feeling sick today
Hope it’s not covid 19
Keeping fingers crossed

March 29

stuck on railroad tracks.
train is slowly bearing down.
who can stop it now

March 31

Trying to keep things
“normal” for the kids but I’m
crying inside

April 3

Spring flowering trees
are a riot of color
but inside I’m gray

April 4

When all this is past                                                                                                                                          I will have more gratitude.
Why not start it now?

April 6

Makes me remember
Why I live with this guy, or
makes me *wonder* why

July 20

I can’t breathe, help me
Take your knee off of my neck
I can’t breathe, Mama
********************************
I can’t breathe too well
I don’t want to wear a mask
I can’t breathe with it
*******************************
I can’t breathe, help me
Put me on a ventilator
I can’t breathe, help me
