Great advice Annie especially since that dreaded Corona virus keeps infecting people across our nation. Enjoyed the sing song nature of this piece it's a very short poem but very lyrical piece of poetry that i believe can also be utilized as a slogan or a chant. Well done.

    Thank you for reviewing this entry. Our parents knew what they were doing to keep us busy back then. We have to keep such a closer watch on our children these days. Times have changed, indeed.

This poem is kind, it rhymes, and meets the contest requirements. However I hesitate when I see poetry about politics, and respectfully disagree. But no one has all the answers ð?¤·â??â??ï¸?

    Political? I think you may be on the wrong side of the coin there. This is a humanitarian post. I work the front lines, and if you could see the devastation the virus has taken in our elderly like I do, You may look at it differently. I am a RN. I do thank you for taking the time to review.

Very good advice. However, I do think 99% of us are doing just that, when we are with others. As far as the other 1% just don't go anywhere where they are.

    Wearing a mask for a long period of time is unhealthy but to keep us safe, we nurses have to do just that. It gets pretty hot in them also. Thanks for your review and comments. Hope we get a handle on this virus soon.

A very well-written twenty word poem about wearing a mask in public is one thing we can do to stop the spread of the virus. On the other hand I read an article today that it is not healthy to wear one non-stop because you keep breathing your own breath. The only reason I wear a mask when I go to thelp shop is not to pay a fine of end up in jail.

Good advice and it is compulsory here and you are fined if you don't wear one. The world has changed and now we can't recognise anyone, a fun post, love Dolly x

You make a valid point in your contest entry. It is one's choice, mostly, to wear a mass or not. It is hard to understand why so many take chances and possibly infect others by not wearing a mask. Your 20 words flow well. I like the rhymes. Your image is a great pairing, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

    I avoid the unmasked when shopping and do not understand the reasoning there. I have lost a loved one to the virus and appreciate those who do wear them. Thank you for your review and kind words.

You have created a two line poem that is smooth with the rhyming of words and has a strong steady beat. Your theme is relevant to today, we all need to wear a mask.

You expressed this well in twenty words, very timely write. It just makes sense and I do not understand not wearing a mask. Please, wear mask indeed!

I cannot fathom the resistance to wear a mask, which protects you and others. I have scratched my head countless time, trying to figure it out.

The resistance may have something to do with disbelief regarding the severity of the virus or just plain rebellious.

I understand that the mask may be uncomfortable when worn for a long periods of time, but I rather wear a mask than be hospitalized for a long period of time.

Good luck in the contest. Your poem was well-written with a profound and critical message. It's catchy. Perhaps you should consider sending it to the media or somewhere else to reach an audience beyond FanStory.
