My Quarantine Classroom

by: Ennio Miloshi

School used to be about friends and learning

Eating lunch and talking to friends

That has changed while we learn at home

As I'm finishishing all my homework.

I think of how my friends are all gone

And I think of school as I mow the lawn

I wake up to the chirping birds

And the smells of breakfast and say

Todays always the same day

My Quarantine

By: Emily Gallagher

Days pass, each the same

I follow the movements,

Once foreign to me, now my normal

Wake up, get ready for the day

 There’s nowhere to go

My house-once a safe haven, is now my prison

Time for “school”

Instead of being surrounded by my peers,

I have only myself

My thoughts echo in the silence which was once occupied

With the hustle and bustle of students

I sit in my room, staring at a screen

The only connection to what used to be

Time passes, schools out

And yet I do not move

For this has become my quarantine

This Virus is Wack

By: Armani Montanez

Doing school from home is making me feel Stressed 

I can't go anywhere but I still have to get up and Dressed 

Staying home is more boring than you think 

Seeing my friends is the missing link 

It's hard to learn without the teachers

I miss basketball and Even watching from the bleachers 

Can't wait to go back 

This virus is wack

My Quarantine Classroom

By: Nicholas Griffin

The bell is now an alarm clock

The classroom is now a desk, and a chromebook

The locker is now a closet

But it isn’t the same

My classmates are now books on the shelf

And bobble heads and trophies

However nothing can truly be replaced

By a quarantine classroom

Alone Together

By: Amanda Ferhani

Everything changed in the blink of an eye

Forced to leave school without saying goodbye

Now confined to my 4 by 4 room

My only social interaction is through Zoom

No longer a desk, but work in bed

In my comfy pajamas with the books that I’ve read

I light my candle for a pleasant smell

Enjoying the quiet sound of no bell

But life at home isn’t as great as it seems to be

I miss the times when we were all free

I think of all the workers that sacrifice their lives

And put our needs before theirs so we may survive

We need to be strong for one another and unite

For we are alone together in this fight

My Reality

By: Areti Tiglianidis

How quickly life changes from a normal routine

Where waking up in the morning and having a productive day is guaranteed

The time says 8:00 and so does the light from the sun  

But now when I wake up it’s hard to tell if the day has begun

My desk is the dining room table where I sit across from my brother 

Where we don’t have to get up to go from one class to another 

We go to every class together, which is different from school

Though we are on our own schedule and that's pretty cool

Getting work done is very straight forward

But there are no funny interruptions, laughs or pats on the back to make it a reward 

Doing school online is a lot like summer

It is more relaxing and flexible almost like it’s school but undercover 

I never thought that this would be my reality 

But then again anything can happen and that's part of the world's actuality
