Poetry Reading Sonnet

The Poetry Reading a Sonnet We stayed at a small hotel only brick throw away from one of Paris’s famous hotel where British MP’s let themselves be bribed just to stay there for a weekend with a cohort. I was to read poetry and naturally petrified of the thought of reading in public, but with the help of whisky was able to perform, use a Richard Burton voice, with Norwegian accent. Poetry is a lonely craft and when poets meet much alcohol is consumed and for once we feel it is our work is worthwhile. My wife was not there she was visiting her family, rich people who lived in the heart of Paris, rue Salazar, and I had to find my own way back to the hotel and promptly fell and I woke Up in the hospital. Two days I was kept there, my wife came but not her family it appears my dislike of Israel and Zionism has hit a raw nerve, but they sent me a card with grapes on.
