Corona-haiku
Coronavirus? More like the Smith-Corona virus, given the number of great poems you submitted! (and yeah, I realize that you have to either be pretty old or some kind of typewriter fan to get that joke).
First of all, is Gavin in quarantine in a middle school?!?? His haiku made it sound like it:
Fenced in, quarantined
I watch the teens dance in masks
Spirit inspires.
Meanwhile, Christine is prepared:
Past experience
tells me at four days people
will go stir crazy
*********
Thankful for many
acres and outdoor chores
to keep me busy
Set to place my mulch
order. That can occupy
me for sev'ral days
Megan Willome, maybe not yet:
I'm supposed to care
I suppose I will, later--
Sunny dogs nap on
The Medievalist probably has the Coronavirus:
I have a fever,
Ex post facto nasal drip.
Pass the Tylenol.
While Amy has questions:
Pariah cruise ships
Claustrophobic death boats. Stuck
On an airplane, coughing
Seatmates. Usual
lunch spot -- music library--
Too warm with phlegm-y
Undergrads. Outside,
open spaces, brisk air, is
The only place to be.
Meanwhile, IPLawguy perhaps isn't taking the whole thing seriously yet:
Weird Al Yancovich
Lets us down in time of need
Won't do "My Corona"

I work on Travis Air Force Base in California. The base hosts a number of people in a quarantine area. Americans evacuated from China mostly, and now some of the folks from cruise ships.
One day I saw three teens wearing white surgical masks practicing a hip hop dance routine outside.
Anything to stay busy, and keep spirits up, I suppose.
