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
