My Dream Goes On By Ethan Zhang, 7 Before my basketball dream comes true, The coronavirus began to sweep through. I hope I can be back at the court, To play for my team at our fort. I hope this invisible defender will be defeated, The arena will again be lightened. It seemed now everything was doomed, It felt like everything gloomed. But I know that one day all this will end, My crossover will not bend. From now not too long, My dream will once again go on. Ethan Zhang, 7 McLean Virginia

My Life in Corona Social Imposed Distancing: A Poem Memoir by Leah Mesuk, 12
My Life in Corona Social Imposed Distancing A Poem Memoir By Leah Mesuk, 12 Every day is a struggle to remember what is going on outside People dying others suffer Me, here, asking to go swim in a pool I feel selfish But also very lucky Struggles define the human race All of us Even you With mind disorders Physical disorders Problems at home With bullying at school We all have problems Even though at times Not visible with the human eye People may take out their problems on others Like the Chinese Hate Crimes Because it is said they started the Coronavirus That doesn’t make it right Let all of us join together to End this fight And win it right Leah Musak, 12 Manhattan, NY
Quarantine, a poem by Daisy Hampton, 11
Quarantine By Daisy Hampton, 11 I’m stuck on Manhattan Island Because I’m in quarantine I can’t wait to see all of my friends When we say bye to Covid-19. When school closed it was cold, dry, and dreary Not a flower could be seen When I get out I’ll see the sky clearly It’ll be warm and the trees will be green Right now all I see is my family And my friends on my Macbook Air I snuggle with my dog Maddie And the empty ferries pass by my window and blare This Coronacation Sure isn’t as fun as it sounds Like everyone in this nation I can’t wait till the U.S. rebounds Daisy Hampton, 11 New York, NY
