Porch Sitting- Pandemic Style
Porch sitting with friends during Covid-19 social distancing47 total reviews
Comment from Becky Kern-Taylor
Excellent, and good rhythms. My husband was a southerner and did a lot of porch sitting. He still takes his cushion and goes to the front stoop (not even a porch) and sits and has a cigarette. He observes all the workers, tells them "Hi" finishes his cigarette and comes back in. It is a ritual for him, and since I love him, I love his ritual.

This is such a pleasant and refreshing covid poem. :) Your words are so friendly and inviting laced here and there with a bit of humor at the situation we find ourselves in. :)

Definitely a real contender in the contest, Jerri. Very "down to earth" and "folksy" text in this rhymer. I liked this stanza particularly well:
"So, please come on over!
My porch is the best!
For love, peace and comfort
from the Coronavirus pest!"
Excellent writing!
Stay safe dear friend. :) Bob

Thanks as always! And if you were closer, you?d definitely be invited! ( as a matter of fact.., maybe you are close) Who knows?🤪🤪

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is hilarious! But it reflects the situation with the social distancing rules and all the consequences of the Pandemic hanging over our heads.
Many witty and interesting finds. It is morbid fun (lol).
I liked these:
I'll meet you out front,
on my porch... in the shade!
And we'll share a cold drink
I have germlessly made!
"Germelessly made" is hilarious! I wonder what the recipe is.
Thank you very much for sharing, I think this will do extremely well in the contest.

This poem gives a new and more wholesome meaning to the term "free love." I have found a silver lining in the quarantine because many old friends now have time to zoom which they never did before. Thanks for sharing.

I like this poem. The porches I've shared in my life in the towns and the country are many. The porch, It is such a place of community and hospitality. I miss this. Beautiful little poem.

You have the right idea and your poem delivers the message well. Yes, I see where that could be a good way to visit. Wear a mask and set the chairs 6 feet apart. Good one!

I think this is a good entry for the Rhyming Poetry contest.
The well rhymed verse has a fun rhythm and tells a timely story.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

This was a very sweet and well-natured poem. I like the idea of chilling on the porch having socially distanced chatter! It's a great thing to do in regards to our circumstances.
