And so it begins....

Chalky
Let's have no half measures
Software
Simply the pleasures
Raak
Of raising the urge to get frisky.
Projoy
In the process of looking for flowers
Stevie
I was caught in a series of showers
Rosie
But I had my brolly
Simons Mith
And wellies, by golly
Chalky
Such meteorological powers!
Projoy
Rising early, I wended to Wales
penelope
To
re
search the fledging of snails
(They take to the wing and leave the nest mid-June or so, I believe)
muttleee
I've spent my whole grant
Software
So now I just can't
Rosie
Deny that it's one of my fails.
CdM
A while ago I had this thought:
CdM
For greater scansion clarity, given that the line could also be read iambically
A while ago
I
had this thought:
Chalky
Can a poetic licence be bought?
Raak
Or is it innate?
Radox The Green
Let's ask the laure
ate
The laureate
Just nick one but do not get caught.
It is I, Rosie
CdM
My darling cannot understand
Projoy
Why her planes can't be friends with the land
Chalky
They circle above
Raak
Sighing deeply with love
Software
This whole verse is rather bland
CdM
Everything I have done, or would do
Simons Mith
I'd do it again, painted blue
Raak
I've bought futures in woad
Software
So I'll make a load
Chalky
Now I own this hex color code too
Radox The Green
"Hast seen the white whale?" Ahab cried
Simons Mith
It's white on only one side!
Raak
On the other — who knows!
Software
Look out! Thar she blows!
CdM
”My God! That side’s—”. Then he died
In this bitter and blind and bleak land
Hidden text
Completing my Yeats sequence: I had this thought a while ago / My darling cannot understand/ What I have done, or what would do / In this blind, bitter land
Raak
That fell unmade from God's wearied hand
Rosie
I see nought but crap
Projoy
Oh, please give me a slap
Chalky
In return for this gold Krugerrand
Projoy
The women are coming and going
Stevie
(Still refusing to fly on a Boeing)
Simons Mith
I too think this wise
Rosie
(They fall out of the skies)
muttleee
When you fly, that is something worth knowing.
CdM
You can try the FT for £1
Hidden text
or so it says on my screen, at least
Rosie
Don't do it; it's boring, I've found
Projoy
Instead, pay for X
Radox The Green
Before Elon Musk wrecks
Software
And then X is no longer around
Projoy
On a Thursday, one does Thursday things
Raak
Such as fletching a new set of wings
Rosie
Then learning to fly
Chalky
When Friday is nigh
Stevie
For who knows what angst Saturday brings?
Rosie
My cat catches birds just for fun
Raak
Their wings broken, see how they run!
Projoy
Three blinded winged rats
Bismarck
Are her playthings, and that's
Chalky
Just a taste - now the real fun's begun
Radox The Green
My microwave's gone on the blink
Projoy
It turns all my food into drink
Simons Mith
And my drinks into gloop
or sludge if that fits your muse better
Rosie
Resembling fresh poop
blamelewis
Can someone please unblock my sink?
Rosie
The best way to unblock your sink
CdM
(It turns out) is not what you’d think
Chalky
Just go to your settings
Projoy
Set twice a day jettings
