Panacea wanted

Make it go away.
No effort, no solution.
No panacea.

Senryu coronaverse brought to you by the letter P

Global warning

No one an island.
Viruses respect no walls,
built however high.

This coronaverse brought to you by the letter G: a haiku, or rather senryu

Plea

Pledge us your votes, plead
populist politicians
purely on the make

Glint

Light at night

of light on broken glass was
Chekhov’s shining moon

Nuclear winter
our worry once; our new fear

Bad blood

old alliances
strengthened by mutual respect
undone by bad blood

Tipping point
