Tinker Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The Coronasonnet inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic is an invented form created by the poets of SingPoWriMo (Singapore Poetry Writing Month) and found by Dave Schneider at Writing.com. I just copy and paste his description. "The recipe for this viral concoction follows:" Written in 14 lines. The coronasonnet has been infected by 2 lines from another poem(s) and includes them verbatim as part of its 14 lines. The coronasonnet is asymptomatic for the first 8 lines, but from line 9 onwards, every word is written in all caps. The coronasonnet ends with social distancing, with more and more space in each line. Lines 12-14 include only one-syllable words.

Tinker Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Return of Spring My garden calls me in this hour, " ’tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes"* its sweet breath, to us bequeaths. I flee from isolation to dance among the bright faced daisies, the royal iris bloom, not by chance, reminding me, I'm anything but crazy. SPRING ANNOUNCES, "NEW LIFE, PUT AWAY YOUR UPTIGHT STRIFE. BASK IN MY VIBRANT HUES, IN WINTER YOU PAID YOUR DUES. WITH EACH DAY, LIVE IN THE NOW AND I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU, I VOW." ~~Judi Van Gorder * Lines written in early spring L13-14 by William Wordsworth April 1798 Verse Form The Coronasonnet Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Wow, Thanks for playing along. Good one. I think when quoting the line from Ginsberg, it. should be in parentheses. “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”* * Howl L1 by Alan Ginsberg ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
