Senior Center Poetry Readings

Senior Center Poetry Readings

You put forth effort and then tried hard
Yet you may often be caught off guard
From spring, summer, fall into winter
Like going to your local Senior Center.

Idea of own adopted one that is their
People for poetry reading actually care
And even if read is really their own too
While others wait around to hear a few.

Liked my poems from first time I read
Down path of confusion were never led
Any lover of poems as well as literary
Are glad senior center resembles a library.

Lovers of poetry selected Center instead
And after that many hearers have said
Why not allow each local people to speak
At a Center poetry reading once a week.

Not a bad idea, if I don't say so myself.
