NaPoWriMo Poetry Challenge Day 12: “The Virus”


Hello and welcome to Day 12 of the Napwrimo Poetry challenge this month.

For today’s challenge, I chose the prompt given on https://www.napowrimo.net/

“Today, I’d like you to invert your inspiration, and write a poem about a very small thing. Whether it’s an atom, a button, a hummingbird’s egg, dollhouse furniture, or the mythical world’s smallest violin.”

The Virus”

The smallest thing I know

Is a virus;

and one has

A hold on

The whole world.

Two years and counting;

It keeps

Reinventing itself

Like an aging celebrity.
