Notes About The Poem

A Souper Occasion

I’m delighted Line’s decided to mention The First Annual Poetry Soup Convention The convention will be in the U S of A At Disneyland, where all poets can stay It’s to be held in the first week of May All are welcome it’s on a bank holiday Invitations will be sent on a gold edged card There will be prizes for any outstanding bard The host will be Bard William Shakespeare (A hologram) I’d better make this quite clear There’ll be a seminar from this sonnet master I must attend, as my sonnets are a disaster! If you desire to deviate from your norm Attend a workshop to learn a new form There’s an opportunity to air your poet’s voice A slam contest - perform a poem of your choice I hope soupers will attend from far and wide Through our poetry writing we’ll all be allied To meet fellow soupers would be a delight I better dash, I must go and book my flight! The First Annual PoetrySoup Convention Poetry Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier 3/5/19

Congratulations Jan, may I suggest Stratford on Avon, home of Shakespeare as its only half an hour away for me and I would save on hotel and flight expenses Lol.

I'd meet up with you Tom but not at Straford as Shakespeare leaves me cold - limerick in Ireland would be better lol and we could both have a holiday lol:-) hugs Jan xx

I believe a convention of this type would coax many to board a plane to just rub shoulders with other poets from many places, to learn and grow in our poetic art. Your poem is a wonderful idea which may one day come true. Loved this Jan! : ) xxoo
