“Corona”
Bored is what everyone says
When they’re stuck at home in their bed
Thinking of nothing but dread
Saying nothing about what was said
“Homeschool Haiku”
Hours of working
Siblings that play kind of well
Until they do not
“Gone”
The friends are gone,
The cousins are gone,
The friends of the cousins are gone,
They are all depressed
Due to one little germ
“Imprisoned”
I’m imprisoned in my own house
The government decided to do this to me
“It’s for your own safety,” they said
“It will be over soon,” they said
The big liars
