COVID Creativity: Poem by Filippo Cassinelli

COVID Creativity is a new Source arts feature highlighting the work of our creative readers as they respond to a time of global pandemic. All visual artists and creative writers are encouraged to share with us new works that have been created as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Poetry and creative prose submissions are limited to 1,500 words and should include a brief bio of the writer.

Visual art submissions should include at least one high quality image or video and a very brief bio along with an artist’s statement that speaks to the inspiration of the work. The statement should include the title if there is one, the medium used and what the work means to you.

Please send submissions and questions to visourceart@gmail.com.

 

YEAR 2020

Filippo Cassinelli

Sleep away
terror

I sail
over aqua
white pillows
sea foam
salt

Thundering hooves
incandescent
seahorses

spring blooms
Covid-19
six feet
separation

I am on
my own

mouth stained
with words

I speak
my being there
soliloquy
in blue

 

Filippo Cassinelli is a Source reader on St. Thomas.

Unlike many news organizations, we haven't put up a paywall - we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. Our sites are more popular than ever, but advertising revenues are falling - so you can see why we could use your help. Our independent journalism costs time, money and hard work to keep you informed, but we do it because we believe that it matters. If everybody who appreciates our reporting efforts were to help fund it for as little as $1, our future would be much more secure. Thanks in advance for your support!
