You really thought about this pandemic. I don't believe it's worldwide. I wish it was a hoax. Well thought out. Excellent verbiage. Nice subtle rhyming. Great work
Be safe and stay strong :)

Thank you Alicia. It actually has infected 189 countries according to the the WHO. I never knew there were that many countries.
Comment from Pantygynt
A feast of internal and external rhyme, each tercet features its own monorhyme, sometimes over several syllables. It seems to me to be a very suitable form for its subject matter, inducing a feeling of confusion and panic.

Thank you Jim. I am glad you felt the essence of frantic frustration and panic that I tried to infuse into it.

It certainly managed that.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written interlinked tercets about the invisible virus attacking the world and place most of us in isolation to prevent the virus from spreading, but it still does somehow.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the pandemic in these tercets with internal and end rhymes within the overall rhyme scheme. I think most of us agree with your observations and cannot wait until the "viral stowaway" is defeated. Be safe and well- Joan

Virtual 6! Your random thoughts have taken you through the pandemic facts as impacted on our lives in a very well-constructed poem that was a pleasure to read for its wide-ranging vocabulary and rhyme scheme.
I spotted a spelling correction:

Comment from Jeffrey Ford
I think that you wrote an great poem. You're writing is very well written and truthful about what's going on in the world with the Covid-19 or Corona virus epidemic. "I like the line that you wrote "Masks may keep it away, as will distance allay the feral sway of this stray viral stowaway." I that it's a great piece of writing!

Comment from royowen
America probably needs a national "oneness" in this campaign against this silent, invisible enemy, we only have a trickle here, mostly from overseas, (even thought its only returning travelers) because the national and state governments are in agreement, to shut down borders, my son in law explained exponential growth to me, he isolated his family three week before anyone. Beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

Hi Treischel, this series of Tercets is really marvelous... all of the internal rhymes are really good and none of them feel forced at all. That's something you don't usually find in so long a string of internal rhymes. Brilliant job bringing your message along throughout without missing a beat. A well deserved 6 :)

What a fabulous poem, Tom, the end rhyme, the internal rhyme, this must have taken you a long time to put together and what a result! This is about every part of this dreadful virus and you have managed to put into words the fears and emotions of how everyone is feeling. You've written an incredible poem, my friend. So well done!! :)) Sandra xx

Thank you so much Sandra. It took about 3 days of finding the correct words and then putting them together to say what I wanted. I appreciate your encouragement.
