Have been tweeting two poems a day, all in the style of Sappho, and posted the last one in the collection just now at https://twitter.com/tony_gentry. Here are a couple I really like from the final 10:


98.

So, officer:

Just think when corona came

that woman you killed the one who worked in the ED?

Had she lived she mighta

saved your grandma.


99.

I have no complaint.

I worked fifteen-hour shifts to save people:

Dead, I won’t be forgotten.
