Fave Poets Meet

Meeting my homegirls Wilma Neels and Kim Van Breda with shrieks and squeals hasty introductions and we're on our way for a night of reading at Poetry Café We've Yasmin to thank for arranging the meet with fellow Soupers, a veritable treat Yasmin the sneak had their names withheld we're apprehensive yet still by curiosity propelled My fingers are crossed to meet Eileen fave poetess mine, the Passionate Queen dare I wish to meet hamsome Ryerson not to mention Anne-Lise Andresen? On first glance the café seems somewhat rowdy from one of the corners a chorus of "Howdy!!!" heaven help!! I'm rooted to the spot all my fave poets from the Souper pot The Queen of Passion, my special friend Eileen Ghali, an angel heaven-sent with open arms and that beguiling smile that's touched us all over thousands of miles I spot our Father Christmas, Jackie Ellison Oh my, mercy me, the hamsome Tim Ryerson then the beautiful being, Anne-Lise Andresen and our pretty young doll, Anne Poetess Currin Andrea, crack writer and popcorn freak and Nette Onclaud, Madame Linguistics the talented and sweet Leonora Galinta oh, for a long time I've longed to meet her There's the much-loved Reach-Out Lamoureux a stylish gentleman, delighted to meet you our very own Linda who happiness spreads memorable the day as Brown Licia meets Red He who writes poetry with a golden pen bestest, fantasticest, hamsomest friend Rich-Heart Seal-ed Door, my bruv from abroad by his smile I'm bowled over; by his charm I am awed I'm jumping with joy at my fave poets meet befuddled, bewildered; who first to greet? midst the mountain of talent I'm on a positive high overwhelmed, I simply break down and cry This one needs a whole lot of polishing and smoothing out, but I was too excited to submit it. I'll iron out the crinkles soon. LOVE TO YOU ALL, LICIA
