This is a wonderful Cube poem, and just the form to send forth a message of hope that slowly, we are getting around to dispatching this Coronavirus once and for all.

Excellent poem and social commentary. :)

Hopefully, you are right, we are on the way to winning this Covid battle. Nicely written Cube poem and particularly the mention of the joining of researchers all around the world to defeat this. Enjoyed this read.
cheers

Poet,

I don't know if this is another blind entry or not. It's my day off...can you tell? I came to review another poem in your portfolio...suggested by Liz.

Anyhoo...those instructions give me anxiety. Glad you were successful here and I'll take your word for it as far as you following those instructions.

Difficult subject...basically biological warfare. Fine poem, theme and presentation.

Glad you will receive a ribbon from this not great review written from my phone.

Anna

Kahpot,
Very nice cube poem. Thank you for the hope of beating this terrible disease.
Neat rhyme.
I like the very effective words you've chosen: quell, thirst, no mercy.
Excellent work, Kahpot.
Best wishes for the contest,
Cindy

The corona pandemic has caused terrible loss of lives and humongous loss of wealth and peace of mind to people across the globe. Fortunately, the great efforts of the noble scientists have brought it under control and it is hoped that it will leave the world in a year's time. Till then we should follow the Covid compliance procedures. I liked your well written, technically perfect poem. Much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

This work has reached the exceptional level

As you say here, this virus is something we have to learn to live with and in some ways tame, your cube poem is well metered and rhymed and I enjoyed the sentiment, we only have so much control here and precautions are taken, but in the end we have to get on with life. Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thank the Lord that finally we are seeing some "winning signs." I like how you showed us how the virus took us all by surprise with:
"it won the start
no whistles blown
it just ran free
no mercy shown"

it's part to play (its)

You did a great job with this form. I definitely think we're making headway with the virus, and hopefully, life will resume to near pre-virus normality soon.
