The Convention

(27/06/2011) There I was, the only woman With three others I was the most nervous one I looked at other tables There he was, the poet who can act in his words While at the other table groups All woman, four other poets Chit-chatting in chattering I could only look down, no eager of confidence Back to observe my own table Next to me was a calm and gentle poet Yet his words act like blades Gently black at times Full of flowery romance at the same time Next to him was other gentleman Who masters all the topics From social to politics The other one, very keen With his wisdom words and sweet writings You have no idea how grateful I was Being counted in such a massive convention Sitting equally with artists in words I lifted my head then and blended-in I was one amongst the perfections At my table: Myself - Dinda Minardi Calm and gentle poet with sharp words - Michael J. Falotico Gentleman who masters all the topics - Dr. Ram Mehta Wisdom and sweet writings gentleman - Rick Berry For "Table of Four" Contest Sponsored by: Michael J. Falotico
