"Everyone is hoping for a vaccine to prevent them from getting the Coronavirus. However, to date, no vaccine for Covid-19 has been invented. Hundreds of thousands of people are getting sick and dying all over the world.

What can we do? Our lives are simple but in these times we need hope and encouragement and general information concerning this devastating disease that is overpowering the world.

The Lockdown periods have caused much anxiety and stress emotionally, physically, and financially, and many have become suicidal.

Brenda Mohammed and Florabelle Lutchman, two sisters have come together to bring hope, encouragement, and amusement to all in this Anthology, “Chaotic Times: Poetry Vaccine for Covid 19.”

The poems of these authors are the right vaccine for our soul in this austere, even dramatic space and time we are going through.

It will prove to be an unforgettable remembrance of what we all went through in 2020, a year that really never was.

A reviewer of the book had this to say. “The vaccine for Covid 19 has not yet been discovered, but the poems of the great authors Brenda Mohamed and Florabelle Lutchman are the right vaccine for our soul in this austere, even dramatic space and time we are going through. “CHAOTIC TIMES” is a volume of poetry with extremely positive reflections, bright valences, and lyricism of calm reconciliation with the chaotic rhythms of the existence of two charming spirits that offer to the reader a true therapy through poetry. Between the pages of this volume is a multitude of solutions to various human turmoil. I am sure that the grace, the dexterity of the mind, and the sensitivity of the authors’ souls will vibrate for you as they vibrated for me.” Corina Junghiatu

FOREWORD

"He was the best singer of all times; he passed away yesterday...
Can’t believe that the princess of Spain succumbed to the virus last month..
The President has been tested positive...
The number of cases has gone up...
Dubai government takes health measures and opens up the nation to tourists...
Gosh...what chaos!
Well, I’m sure by now, all of you have got a brief idea of what I’m hinting at. Yes, the world has turned upside down all of a sudden. The mythical blood moon started showing its rays and doomsday rehearsal is going on. Are we all preparing ourselves for a final exit?
Nonsense!
We aren’t brain dead. We are still breathing. We are getting back to work. We are brave enough to walk amidst the corpses with a firm determination that as a human, we are blessed to keep hope and thoughts alive.
As prominent writers, Author Brenda Mohammed and Author Florabelle Lutchman relay hope, amusement, and awareness to millions of readers through this book titled ‘Chaotic Times.'
I would say that these two brainy authors have succeeded in letting their writers ink vaccinate our minds to open up and accept challenges during this pandemic. Every poem in ‘Chaotic Times’ reflects the need for saving strength to overcome challenges that may or may not arise during the corona war. Remember that we cannot afford to give up in this war. If you even think of doing so, remember that you are the only odd one, when the entire world is fighting against this big coward. Moreover, humans are well equipped and duly blessed.
They can trace even the unseen health pollutants with crystal clear diagnosis. It’s only a matter of time, Soon we will see the solution. Till then, let’s all read some melodic chimes in poetic treasure. It makes us wiser and more thoughtful during our lifetime. The poems signify historical moments that will remain in literary history.
Let’s all realise that, it’s time to be wiser and more informed. Reading this book would definitely give you amusement and at the same time open your eyes to some literary brilliance on the pandemic. Let me add a composition inspired by this book below.

Hatred on self will never be the remedy.
Pandemic times, an erratic comedy.
Don’t kill hope, to crown it as tragedy .
Let it be just another global malady.
It’s same as war and other things shady.
Be brave, prepared, and ready.
It can’t be worse than what it’s already.
Corona came to us when we were unready.
Now we're getting to face it and ready.
Life will resume and soon be steady.
Eco balancing makes life muddy.
Soon life will be sweet as candy.

So meanwhile, savour this literary candy - a wonderful and most promising book for pandemic times and beyond.

Brenda and Florabelle do know what the world needs at this juncture. Each poem In this literary treasure voices out poetic brilliance and assures us to keep our brows raising. Curiosity will keep you gripped to the pages. Amusement in them will keep you thrilled. Revelations of each poem will keep you informed...what more?
Flip the pages and start reading. ’Chaotic Times’ does have more to what my foreword says.
Happy reading!
