Prisha Aswal, 7Portland, OR Outside My Window Prisha Aswal, 7 Outside my window, Are trees, And bees. No one is out, Because of coronavirus disease. No crowds, But clouds, And a big black dog I see. I miss what this place used to be. Look far away there is a house, From over here, it looks like a mouse. My other window has a different view, Squirrels running over the fence! Phew. The butterflies are dancing around the flowers, And the flowers seem happy to soak in the showers. That brings a smile on my face, As I start enjoying the days. Only hi and hello no hugs. This mask on my face does bug. But it is important so wear we must, Because doctors say that and them, we must trust. It will save lives and let us help each other, Because we are all in this together.

Something feels different, go away COVID-19, a poem by Manasi Karthikeyan, 12
Manasi Karthikeyan, 12Nashotah, WI Something feels different, go away COVID-19 Manasi Karthikeyan, 12 Stuck at home away from those you see every day It feels like we are being held captive, but we can’t yell Mayday! We wait and wait until this time is over So, get up and wish on a four-leaf clover! This is history something you cannot change I know it’s all so strange It feels like a dream but we can’t wake up There was never a heads-up. Nowhere to go and nothing to do We are all feeling very blue FaceTime, texting, and calling it’s not the same My friends and I wish we were all at a sleepover playing a board game. We can get over this as a community Together we can say hello to new opportunities We will all get back into our routine Go away COVID-19!
