Write a self composed poem on the topic- Corona Virus in English
Answers
Answer:
Passing each day is becoming difficult for some of us at times during the current lockdown situation. Cooped up inside our homes, not going out for fresh air or to meet friends and see new places, does affect us after a certain point of time. But there is one thing which has time and again come to our rescue in the past, and can do so again in the current scenario- poetry. Soothing lines in poems have been able to calm many a nerve through their wisdom.
We’ve chosen a few poems for you which you can go through whenever feeling down, for the rest of the time, ofcourse you can see Netflix, talk on the phone and catch up on sleep (though guess you’ve been doing enough of that already).
Insha’Allah by Danusha Laméris (2014)
We must always remember that the power of prayer is very important and can get us through the most difficult of times.
I don’t know when it slipped into my speech
that soft word meaning, “if God wills it.”
Insha’Allah I will see you next summer.
The baby will come in spring, insha’Allah.
Insha’Allah this year we will have enough rain.
So many plans I’ve laid have unravelled
easily as braids beneath my mother’s quick fingers.
Every language must have a word for this. A word
our grandmothers uttered under their breath
as they pinned the whites, soaked in lemon,
hung them to dry in the sun, or peeled potatoes,
dropping the discarded skins into a bowl.
Our sons will return next month, insha’Allah.
Insha’Allah this war will end, soon. Insha’Allah
the rice will be enough to last through winter.
How lightly we learn to hold hope,
as if it were an animal that could turn around
and bite your hand. And still we carry it
the way a mother would, carefully,
from one day to the next.
