In a Manhattanville College MFA writing program, I experiment with poetry. Three small poems, each using the structure of haiku, capture a day in isolation during coronavirus 2020, thoughts and emotions distilled into 17 syllables, for Mass Observation: COVID-19 (#MOC19)
1
Grim news on waking
I turn my sadness into words
Bruising the keyboard
2
Wind chimes beckon me
I walk the streets, not a soul
Daffodils wave hope
3
How long? I wonder
Sinking into restless sleep
I seek peace in dreams
