Comment from Ogden
I can picture the indomitable writer, hunkered down, coaxing his or her reserve, to create anything out of two rhyming words that can be construed to have something to do with the coronavirus. And you did it.

Wow, thanks so much for this very nice review. I enjoy writing and am currently taking a writing course as well. However, the course has been put on the back burner as I just can't seem to get the right focus to continue on with the course right now. But, I was able to write this poem, so I guess that I am gradually getting myself where I need to be in order to write more.

You're welcome, Maureen.
Good luck!

Comment from Tanvi Pauddar
I liked your poem. It rhymes perfectly, and your word choice is fabulous. I liked the line where you said, "You arrived within a wink of an eye." One more thing I liked was that you included the precautions everyone can take, and you mentioned the medical people who are putting their lives at risk for us. Good luck in the contest!!

I think this is a good entry for the Rhyming Poem contest.
This tells us about life with the Coronavirus.

Thank you for taking the time to review this poem. It came about more or less on a whim. I felt a need to write or journal about these challenging days and then when I saw that there was a rhyming contest, I thought, why not give it a try? Thanks again.

A very current offering for these trying times... you've included a lot of present info and predicaments - great job! ;) Although there is some rhyme and it seems to be mostly couplets, there are some lines without a rhyme 'getting paid' and 'face soon'. The contest does call for a specific rhyme scheme to be established. Also, there is no rhythm for the reader to 'flow' through your lines and feel your message... It is wonderful that you have appealed for all to pray and the hope you present with your final line is awesome! :) Best of luck in the contest! :)

Very well crafted. Delightful execution here. This piece is timely and thought provoking. I'm certain your readers will appreciate this and indeed once it is all over there may be those who will share their individual and collective stories or where we were or what we were doing in retrospect at this time in history. Well done!

Comment from Fonda Little
My favorite part was, ""Coronavirus" making the day - leaving us to Pray, Pray, Pray!
We continue to have hope that a new cure or vaccine will show its face soon,", because keeping a positive perspective is essential especially in times like these!
The Lord led me to this verse after I read this,
Proverbs 17:22 New International Version (NIV)
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Yes, we must all continuously pray right now during this challenging time in our history. This poem just sort of came about out of boredom and a strong desire to want to write something about this crisis we are all facing. Thank you very much for this review.
Comment from Aaron Rodenburg
Thank you for your poem, it is quite current and really encapsulates our daily life under the reign of the corona virus. One slight critique... the rhyming was secondary to the message in this poem. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for this review. I enjoy writing and this poem sort of came about as I was feeling a bit bored and also had a strong desire to journal or document this challenging time in our history.

Your rhyming poem contest entry is so current. Everything you mentioned is important--especially finding a vaccine quickly and staying away from others. The hoarding isn't good and it continues. My only suggestion is add some words to the lines that don't rhyme with the one preceding it so there are end rhymes--such as wash your hands the sanitary way--twenty seconds then you have it made. I believe end rhymes in some kind of pattern is needed. If I missed this. please forgive me. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Thank you for this review. I enjoy writing very much and this poem sort of came about as I was a bit bored and also wanted to somehow document or journal these challenging days we are all facing right now with the pandemic.
Comment from Marietta Standlee
Very good poem. Goes straight to the heart and pretty much describes the current mood/angst. I like the way it shows how much we owe to the medical/emergency staff. And of things, we take for granted (celebrations) that are now have been taken away. Maybe you could put a little bit more emphasis about other happening from around the world in it, maybe a short mention of how many lives have been lost to put the fear and worry a little bit more to the forefront.

Maureen, you have done well to list all the issues we are facing globally - and to attempt it to rhyme. The picture is not a pretty one, but one we must all face, together. Well done and good luck in the contest. ~DD
