P is for Poetry

Praise my poetry prowess
I'm a man not a mouse
With my prose and my rhyme

Yes my ego's been soused
And is big as a house
At least most of the time 

When level, I canter
I revel in banter
I'm not anyone's mime

Put me up on that stage 
Though I don't act my age
And I'm well past my prime

So come in for the show 
It don't cost much you know 
Just a measly red dime

Said you're saving your bucks
And think poetry sucks
Then I say that's a crime

Hello Randy Freie, The person said that poetry sucks, then that person should not go to the show. Only the people that create and love poetryshould show up for the show, they would be the ones to enjoy the show. Your friend, Darlene

love the content and flow of your poem Randy - if you do performance poetry then good on you - I go to a poetry reading group once a month and read my own poems, though some read ones off the web. I have been on stage at a charity event in front of 600 people. Let's keep poetry real on PS and not see AI or plagiarised poems! hugs jan xx

Our group is small about 17 last time we met, we take it in turns to read a poem - we each take 2, have a break for tea and biscuits mid way through. why not google and see if there is poetry in a cafe or somewhere like that. good luck:-) hugs jan xx

Hi Jan, no one to read to here in small town Missouri. Just me. Thankfully, I'm good at keeping myself entertained. But I would definitely be interested in doing just that if I knew where to go.
