Pandemic poetry by everyday people

A place to create, write, grieve, express, laugh, and share during COVID-19.
There was a virus called COVID-19
Inspiring us all to be oh so quite clean
To make bread of banana
Send masks to Louisiana
And to write poetry from quarantine.
Shapes

there's no such thing as bad poetry

Foundation on Cloth

So much time spent putting on my face,
So many options of gloss and color,
Matching hues to skin, mood, and blouse,
So much time spent for natural results.
To get the "you look nice" reaction - Heaven forbid I look how I feel: tired, busy, stressed, anxious.
Minutes and money spent - for what?
Because now, I hide.
Because now, mascara is what matters.
