Limerick - As Corona Strikes

Rating: 4.9


As Corona strikes, world is in standstill
All around, we witness its massive kill
Terrible is the sight
We're groping in the night
Can we again dream of a life tranquil

CORONA Virus, the danger killer is dancing across the world and put all human beings at their homes. If people will go outside, then this virus will attack. Life is in standstill @! You are absolutely right. After Lock-down also many will fear to go outside but still they will rush. This Limerick is brilliantly written for bringing social awareness! ..10

About your last line- 'Can we again dream of a life tranquil', I would rather like to think that our life now is in a better 'tranquil' than it was some months earlier. Nature has put a stop to that frightening rat race for prosperity that we were in! Poet Mj Lemon perhaps shares some of my thoughts.

An excellent limerick that depicts what humanity is experiencing at these times of uncertainty. Yes, Covid 19 delivered us to darkness but we hope and pray that this darkness will come to an end the soonest and makes humanity stronger and more united. So succinct yet so encompassing and with great impact. Brilliantly penned.10+++ Onto my Poem List.
