Throughout the pandemic, although social activities have been restricted, it has not limited the creation of literary works, including poetry that emerged amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. One such poem titled "Who are you, Corona" has emerged, becoming a work that vividly portrays the atmosphere during the Covid-19 pandemic. Researchers utilized a qualitative approach and employed the mimetic method to analyze the poem.
