Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Covid

Covid 19 was just the first

Causing epidemic worldwide.

Remembrance hoped it was the worst

Because millions of humans died.

And then there was the interlude

Of varied strains that did not do

As much death, there be gratitude

That Covid became more like flu.

Then when the world began to rest

Covid returned year after year.

Efforts failed in a vaccine quest,

Causing billions to disappear.

Covid, hellish or hallowed word?

Covid can cull the human herd.
