(PEN-DEMIC)
Beside a dusty lamp -
a feathered duster bin besides
a scattered brain with pen in hand
and mind's wandering in outer space.
Thinking of what to do,
She runs a hand on her ruffled hair;
Caring less of what a messy place.
The world has become, subdued by grimms.
The world at large have had been warned.
Miscalculated madness been ignored -
By carefree life, nonchalance aside,
When covid struck - all were taken aback!
Akin to Rutherford's model, C-19
from nowhere declared a silent war.
It numbed the global populace on logarithmic scale.
That notorious unseen foe to men is woe by far!
Enough of mental meanderings;
Malingerings ensued with asymptomatic and symptomatic virus, whatever their pretext.
Naivetes overcrowded houses of the sick - some came out in ashes where'er they be.
At home in tedious mode, she got chained in pandemic lockdowns - not once but twice.
She rummaged through the net-web and guess what she found?
A cluster of poets in a fool's paradise!
Entered into the ground of FPB ...
Sneaked and peeked in surreptitious stealth.
Her boredom ended on crumpled papers,
Where she jots her mind full of wonderings.
How this pandemic chaos has been overcome by multi-coloured pens.
