Looks like Jennifer Garner's son is a budding poet. The "13 Going on 30" star was more than happy to show her fans the adorable and highly relatable haiku 8-year-old Sam composed to express his feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sam also came up with his very own fancy pseudonym, too: Fitz B. Ireland.

As it turns out, Sam has a lot on his mind about the coronavirus and decided to vent his frustrations about it when it was his turn to take over the family message board.

The haiku goes, "Corona virus/ we eat we sleep we stay home/ Thrilling it is NOT!"

Sam had a stylistic choice when it came to composing his haiku, such as writing the last line in all caps and opting for larger letters for "NOT!"

The proud mom took a photo of the finished product and immediately shared it on Instagram on Tuesday.

As expected, the poem was a hit, with fans strongly agreeing that the pandemic is emotionally taxing.

While the candid haiku certainly elicited a chuckle from Garner herself, she postulated in the caption, "Things must be getting bleak when an 8 year old boy adopts a pen name and voluntarily writes poetry."

She also encouraged her fellow moms with the hashtag #hangintheremamas.

Garner shares Sam with her ex-husband Ben Affleck.
