The Summer of Corona

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES


 The Summer of Corona

 

In the summer of corona

Firefighters prove their worth

Sweat envelopes their bodies

Their faces caked with earth

 

The season hits us hard this year

Raging waves of pounding fire

A single spark and the dry land

Explodes in consequence most dire

 

It spreads across the landscape

Engulfing towns and houses

Sparing nothing in its path

Not humans dogs or mouses

 

In the summer of corona

They stand where others fall

In close quarters shoulder to shoulder

They bravely risk it all

 

So while we wallow in self pity

Feeling sorry feeling blue

We thank the firefighters for all

They give and all they do
