A selection of fifty poems which capture the experience of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic in a personal way. The "sheltered in" mandate by the governors of the states stricken with the Coronavirus has resulted in a new reality for most Americans. The feeling of being trapped at home, working remotely, confronting boredom and dealing with those complex emotions are all captured in rhyme. Starting with "Trapped at Home", "The Longest Month" and "Time to Work" the book's initial poems address the "what now" reality of the virus restrictions. The CDC's restrictions are captures in rhyme in the poems "Social Distancing", "The Limits", and the "CDC Way". The emotions from staying inside too many days are presented in "Stir Crazy", "The Jolt of Covid-19" and "Surviving and Thriving". The upward spiral of Covid-19 cases from the failure of so many refusing to wear masks or shelter in inspired the poems, "Don't Listen to Stupid", "In Total Disbelief" and "Someone Else's Problem". On a more positive note staying well during the pandemic has required a mindset to comply with the CDC guidelines. The discipline required inspired the poems ""It's Great to Be Alive", "For Better or Worse", "Surviving 2020", "Happy is the Way". The reader will get the feeling of being in the Twilight Zone reading, "Pandemic Hallucinations", "Broken Times", "What Day Is It?" and "Feels Like a Dream". Blaming the U.S. Government is a theme that has arisen in anger to the social restrictions, loss of loved ones, and the economic hardships brought on my the pandemic. The poems "What Could Have Been", "The Hypocrisy of It All" and "Mixed Messages" truly capture those feelings. The poems should provide some comic relief, while at the same time provide a picture of the human experience we have all been going through during the tying months of 2020.
