P is for Poetry

Praise my poetry prowess I'm a man not a mouse With my prose and my rhyme Yes my ego's been soused And is big as a house At least most of the time When level, I canter I revel in banter I'm not anyone's mime Put me up on that stage Though I don't act my age And I'm well past my prime So come in for the show It don't cost much you know Just a measly red dime Said you're saving your bucks And think poetry sucks Then I say that's a crime

love the content and flow of your poem Randy - if you do performance poetry then good on you - I go to a poetry reading group once a month and read my own poems, though some read ones off the web. I have been on stage at a charity event in front of 600 people. Let's keep poetry real on PS and not see AI or plagiarised poems! hugs jan xx

Our group is small about 17 last time we met, we take it in turns to read a poem - we each take 2, have a break for tea and biscuits mid way through. why not google and see if there is poetry in a cafe or somewhere like that. good luck:-) hugs jan xx

Hi Jan, no one to read to here in small town Missouri. Just me. Thankfully, I'm good at keeping myself entertained. But I would definitely be interested in doing just that if I knew where to go.
