Lockdown quarantine

#Prompt- Lives lost during lockdown by Rohini John

Roseate Sonnet Form (Ampat Koshy)



O, you’re a bit hot, sir,  have a sore throat 

Difficulties to breathe. I am sorry, sir

Can’t open the window, sir

We’re in lockdown.


It isn’t personal, I swear it

It’s unfortunate really

You turned to be positive sir

You’ve got to isolate, I can’t let you go out sir.


You’ve got money, a lot of it , good on you, Sir

They let you on the plane, welcome to quarantine!


Roll out vaccine is planned, sir

Organisation is the keyword here,  sir

So sorry but vaccine hasn’t made it to our shores yet

End of story for you sir, my name ? Covid  of course!
