Life in the Time of Corona

Life in the Time of Corona

The grandkids have arrived, but they won't get a hug
It's really not fair, all because of this bug
Dad puts the shopping down outside the front door
Nanny waves from the window, but not a lot more

"Love you, Nana!" shouts the little one, ever so sincere
Nanny smiles, blows a kiss and sheds a small tear
A quick conversation then it's back in the car
They'll see her next week, maybe get a choccy bar

Nanny longs for the time when they can all go for a ride
But she'll get through this crisis with her family by her side

Hi,Tony! Thank you for your kind comments.
I think a sonnet has 14 lines.
Hopefully I will be able to make some more contributionsΒ 
to this lovely place in the future :)

I don't have any grandkids, but I can imagine
what a frustrating time it is for grandparents right now :(

A cold wind from the east is making me shiver
A van draws up, a prescription to deliver

When it's after dinner
And time for sleep

You're the police.

You want to go out...

That rumbling seismic shift
in the not too far off distance
