~ BY INVITATION ONLY - 1st ANNUAL POETRY SOUP CONVENTION ~
Relieve that stress and undue tension, First Annual Poetry Soup Convention!
Come to Maine this early September, (as long as you're a paying member) ...
A smorgasbord - and "lobstah" too, the finest refreshments wait for you!
Forgive me, but I just have to boast - so beautiful, the Down East Coast.
Portland City, thus gold-embossed, but never so big that you'll get lost ...
Recite and share your works of prose, rub shoulders with the rest of those
Who love this site and make it home, then find the perfect beach to roam!
Quite near the ocean, mountains, too ... the cleanest lakes to rendezvous.
Explore the coasts or hike the hills, see all the shops, (forget the bills),
With friends and nature and poetry, all smartly framed beside the sea.
And you won't need to pack your muse - we've plenty here that you can use!
I'm just one simple lad, that's true, but I'll work hard to welcome you ...
September sixth thru ninth weekend, and please feel free to bring a friend -
Tell your peeps you've flown the coop with gals and fellas at Poetry Soup!
Write and read and critique with friends, the grandest of poetic ends ...
Come one, come all, a sweet refrain, the first PS convention, Portland, Maine!
