This Quarantine
This Quarantine has got me bored
This whole thing is making me snore
At first I thought it’d be great because of no school
I was such a fool
Social Distancing
When I’m out in public people act distant. When I go into stores, workers clean up 24/7. When I look outside, I see everybody wearing masks and gloves. Certain stores are not open anymore; you can’t have any gatherings. My mother doesn’t order from carry outs anymore.
Homeschool Haiku
Hours of working
siblings that play kind of well
until they do not
Gone
The friends are gone,
The cousins are gone,
The friends of the cousins are gone,
They are all depressed
Due to one little gem
