Friendly me
A very good start! Can relate with the tone!
Ray to rhyme with bay; not Rae to rhyme with bae
Mari, this portrait of social isolation captures the zeitgeist. Killer last line.
You can call me Featherless, Biped, Featherless Biped, variations on the themes of featherlessness and bipedalism... or Ray. I'm going by Ray these days.
but say it is my humour

Stuck inside indeed, doing the Right Thing. Yes, it has its pressures and negatives, doesn't it.

Very nice. I love your thread title, too. Great opening line in this first poem.

Mari, we are very lucky to live in the countryside a stone's throw from fields and woods. I think the children would drive me mad otherwise. I like in this poem how there is almost a desire for something less sterile, with too clean and the natural want of human contact. It sums up the situation for a lot of people perfectly.
Keep well, there'll be lots of people wanting hugs once this is all over.

Thanks so much for the lovely fluff everyone <3
Number two going up now. I'll try and catch up on other threads over the weekend.

Renovations
Green carpet, how I loathe thee,
let me count the ways...now I have
so much spare time, I fantasise
ripping you up bit by bit,
and if you're cosying your toes in concrete
I'll put down polished wood instead.
This shitshow has to be good
for something, don't you think?

Mari,
The balcony poem is very relatable and light, and the carpet poem suitably pent-up aggressive. An interesting series this will be!

Mari, it has been ages! Great use of our current situations for your openers. Age of the introverts, indeed.
I enjoyed the balcony as a universe, the bird envy, and the starkness of the too clean screen.
The carpet is done for! I like the idea of replacing it with polished wood if it tries to hang on. Insult to injury.
I look forward to more!

Airborne is a great title of course. Too clean screen also hits me in the gut - captures the hypervigilance I am in constant danger of lapsing into as I go through the day. A nice reminder to stay connected with nature. Well done.

I like the idea of ripping out the carpet. Could be an interesting metaphor hiding under that carpet! So much possibility!!

Public Service Announcement
A (mostly) found poem.
The bakery is open
but you can't buy a finger bun.
For the reason, blame Shakespeare--
what's in a name indeed!
You must exercise in pods of ten
inclusive of one live dolphin.
No, make that two and ditch the dolphin
they're smart enough to get on
with their own business, and not stick
around while we fuck up the planet.
This is your government, with its usual
very clear messaging, over and out,
goodnight and good luck.
