Whirlwind
Untitled
Eighth grade was going so well, but then we
had to say goodbye
Coronavirus had to interrupt, the end came
so abrupt
This year I was thriving, I thank my teachers
for this year
For making class fun, and for helping us get
our work done
For dealing with us when we were chatty,
and for checking on us through
challenging things
For grading our assignments, and for
pointing out our mistakes
Now that we are all stuck in quarantine, we
have nothing to do
No one knows when this will end
No one knows when we will be able to go
out, without worrying about our safety
No one knows when life will be back to
normal
We can only stay positive and wait
All we can do is read and see what happens
next
~Juliana Galang
Emergence
Coronavirus
Can’t stop this virus
Overpowering humans
Reigning over China
Over the enormous population
Neglecting the lives of humans
And constantly stealing them
Very scary virus
Indeed, a pandemic
Rarely ever happening
Unless it was an accident
Severe danger is coming
~David Cao
Silently lurking
In the depths of the jungle
The viruses wait
~Benjamin Cohen
Coronavirus
Coronavirus
It is infecting thousands
Many are dying
~Austin Huang
Nature Spirit ~Pedro G.
