“Chihuly, Seattle” by Bella, Grade 11
Questionable decisions made by the president
Unknown cures, driving everyone crazy
A weird time, but one to remember
Restock your toilet paper once again
Another Covid-19 news special
Not enough places open
Too many virtual calls
I really need a break
Nothing to do
Every day is now so boring!!!

When I'm out in public people to 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.
Social distancing plays a big part in my life because of this virus.
I can’t walk to the store or get my hair done. I can’t even hug the ones I love anymore.
I have to stay to myself and distance myself from everyone else just so I won’t get sick.
I just want this to be over so I can go out and live a normal life again.
“Model Lying on a Bed” by Myah, Grade 12
You've made your mark
Now it's time for you to go
and run for the stars
Quarantine
Quarantine is so bad
It's making me sad
Why is the government doing this?
We’re only kids
This is not fair
All I want to do is hide from despair
All this sickness is going around
I can't even go to the playground
“Museum of Blamers” by Amir, Grade 6
Youtube is my friend
Seeing the same thing over
Keep rewatching it
Hours of working
Siblings that play kind of well
Until they do not
Dedicated to birthdays during the Coronavirus Times
My birthday stunk
Like trash days funk
My friends send me cards full of birthday wishes
I hope my mom does not make me do the dishes
I could not ride my birthday bike over the tree trunk

“Covid Project” by Marcus
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
This quarantine is really not so bad
At home, there’s lots of fun to be had
It’s calm and crazy
I’m trying not to be lazy
But if I can’t get out soon I’ll be mad
Though I’m having fun
I want this to be done
I want to go play
I don’t want to stay far away
I want to see every friend
That is all, the end
Quarantine is not so fun
Rather be in the sun
Having to say goodbye
You leave your old life with a sigh
At least you have your family
Unless they lose their sanity
The produce is not here
That's the thing that gives us fear
Until we start to swoon
Can’t remember if it's afternoon
What’s today's date?
A question we all love to hate
Doing school work at the table
Really don’t know if it’s stable
Having meetings on the computer
While my sister’s on her scooter
Puzzle pieces everywhere
Found some in my sister’s hair
No getting sick
You’ll have to feel the doctor's prick
What's that movie you want to see?
You can watch it here with me
Numbers rising like a mountain
Hopefully they come down like a fountain
This thing, this thing
Popping up everywhere ping, ping, ping
Goodbye now friends
Until it ends
By Jannah, Grade 11
Quarantine
What does it mean?
It seems to be so unclean
Taking the crown of every disease and virus
and becoming the queen
To me it seems
Even being free isn't free
It's like solitary confinement
Self isolation by force with no one to talk to on the outside
No one to run to when you have to be 6 feet apart
No one to hold and to cry on when you're at your worst
COVID-19 taught me to put myself first
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse
COVID-19 hits my zip code so I must prepare for the worst
Just like Harry Styles said it's the sign of our times
We hope and we pray that Mr. COVID-19
won't be the end of mankind
Quarantine and COVID-19
You've made your mark
Now it's time for you to go
and run for the stars
Quarantine
