Fancy Writing Spot
Brochure advertised this as the writing opportunity of your lifetime
I took out a bank loan, so I could be one of the hundred participants.
It was a fancy writing spot, gorgeous inside and out.
I was thrilled to be here. The décor was comfortable and warm.
Dinner was an eye-opener. Most had brought a writing partner.
The builk had established friends. I asked lots of questions.
They stared at me as if I had grown three more feet and antlers.
The older writers had their poetic friends and did not want more.
The young ones did not want a fifty-year-old hanging out with them.
Things went downhill from here. The seminar was not terrific.
party goers ran up and down the hallways at night, I could not sleep.
For the next hundred years I will stay at home with my paper and pens.
