The Coronasonnet is a new form invented by the poets of SingPoWriMo (Singapore Poetry Writing Month) in the middle of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The recipe for this viral concoction follows:

1. Written in 14 lines.
2. The coronasonnet has been infected by 2 lines from another poem(s) and includes them verbatim as part of its 14 lines.
3. The coronasonnet is asymptomatic for the first 8 lines, but from line 9 onwards, every word is written in all caps.
4. The coronasonnet ends with social distancing, with more and more space in each line. Lines 12-14 include only one-syllable words.

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
