A Poetry Read Along

A Poetry Read Along Would there ever be anything wrong If we were to have a Poetry Read Along After writing with either pen or pencil Poems could become part of a stencil. My poem is profound and well-laid On screen should be shown or played Being that there might be a big crowd Each of our poems would be read out loud. Sound of each seemed to sound so great Heard all around and from wall did vibrate Until poems disappeared in your each ear And maybe both eyes may shed a tear. Laugh a lot is what us poets like to do Which can also be done by all of you Even librarians becoming quite active Also good looking and extremely attractive. You could have every poet email their poems to you. Then you could create some way each poem could be displayed either on a wall or a screen. Wouldn't that be something if you were the first library to have a Poetry Read Along (PRA). You could also call it a Prelude to Poetry (PREP). The object is to make the other person think that it is their own idea. This is a great idea you have there. James Thomas Horn RiverSea Plantation Retired Veteran

Our local writers guild holds an Open Mic once a month. Readers of prose get 7 minutes, poets get 5 minutes. I read almost every month. Great experience of learning to read your work aloud. OR, memorize and recite.

That is a good idea. We have been trying in the Shallotte, NC area but haven't received any support so far. We will be having a poetry recital at a local library tomorrow. This is about as close to arriving at where you are right now. jthorn5656@gmail.com www.story-telling-around-the-world.com James Thomas Horn
