Minuscule virus
casts panic in the world wide
schedules go haywire
man confined indoors
operation lock down called
stamped a pandemic
nature’s defense tool
to contain man’s ruthless greed
lessons to be learnt.
Haiku – Corona!

Perfect, R! Though I am a bit sad that Mother Nature inflicted some collateral damage – a long planned vacation had to be scrapped…

Just like a mother sometimes is harsh in trying to discipline her child, I guess mother nature too had to resort to this drastic step. We her children have been taking her for granted for long.
It’s sad that you had to scrap you holiday plan. A friend of mine couldn’t go to US for her son’s convocation. Life is harsh at times 🙁.
Hope situation will improve soon, allowing us to get back to our routines.

My favorite set of lines. These three lines speak about everything.
Also, even I’ve tried to write a poem similar to this one, I would feel happy if you take a look.
