COVID-19 Poems / Tidbits
By Janpha Thadphoothon
The following poems or rather pieces of writing help me to make sense of the recent viral pandemic. This 'thing' is tiny and we know little about it. It is like a alien. They are the poems or creative writing works that I created to make records of the event and to share. More importantly, they are what I enjoy doing. They are healing activities.

Creativity is perhaps the last resort we have as humanity to deal with threats and grave dangers.

COVID-19
Some say you're like an alien?
You came uninvited- you kill.
Infected, mutated, and won
Innocent? Or nature's goodwill.
COVID-19, where're you from?
COVID-19, are you man made?
How can we stay living with calm?
What message you have conveyed?
Stay home, stay safe, and positive
And go digital
Japan to extend state of emergency beyond May 5
Trump: I didn't say it.
Florida will start to reopen May 4
Trump: I didn't say it.
South Korea's big churches reopen with designated seats, size limits
Trump: I didn't say it.
Doctors advise 5-step plan to re-opening Thailand
Trump: I didn't say it.
Vietnam Among First Nations to Reopen After Week Without Virus
Trump: I didn't say it.
Hundreds protest against US virus rules amid spreading resentment
Trump: I didn't do it.
France announces its plan to reopen shops, restaurants, and beaches
Trump: I didn't say it.
This is my haiku for today, April 10th, 2020.
I shall name it - "A Small Food Stall by the Road in April"
"A Small Food Stall by the Road in April"
On the way back home
A food stall by the road
Scorching April
Tweeting, chirping
Neighbors' dogs barks, cocks crowing
All for the sunrise
Goodbye: Economy
Hello: Covid-19
Goodbye: Freedom
Hello: Covid-19
Goodbye: Work
Hello: Covid-19
Goodbye: Traffic jams
Hello: Covid-19
Goodbye: Pollution
Social distancing, Working from home, Digital learning, and Staying safe
Humanity on its knee.
Spreading, Infecting, Destroying, and Killing
We Don;t really know what it is!
