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.

People for poetry reading actually care
And even if read is...

I have a cup full of tea leaves
that my story, it is suppose to
hold.

I don't know if I believe this
but the cup is lovely enough
I should at least listen as it is
told.

Gripped tightly the handle was
as it was spun around. 

Stopping on a drip as...

As we gathered in the coast guard station
There was a feeling of sheer elation

The outpouring of emotion 
no longer a notion

Poems of love anger rage and devotion
were read to an aspiring crowd

The words flowed in this artistic abode
amid the backdrop of the ocean

A perfect setting...

One night each week, we courting couples meet
to share our poetry and chat a while.
This time we’ll all enjoy a special treat.
Romantic sonnets sure to make us smile
and swoon will be recited in grand style.

Though not part of the beatnik “misfit” crowd,
we’re nonconformists--in just one...

life readings
body leaking
odor reeking
death speaking
mistakes riddled with teachings
star reaching
foreseeing
far seeking
outer space intelligent beings
come close and listen
my soul is cosmic car driven
get my meaning
you feel me
hot freezing
cold heating
been busted cheating
really dude
how rude
you deserve a attitude beating
altitude feeling
god peeking
dog peeping
what the f... is this guy thinking
rhyming with...

Can you tell me
How I can see
Truth and beauty


Can you then show
The cause of flow
When all seems slow


Can you then cite
The words to write
That do not bite


Can you sign here
Worth that feels dear
In spite of fear


Can you help ploys
To bring fond joy
In kind employ


Can you...

Just like a weasel living life as a scavenge
I’m sure just like he it’s not as he would have planned it 
And with patrol shifts going out to all the giants and talls
They sure use their big britches to control us their fellow smalls 

I’ve...

Rich rapture reaps
Taste timely trip


Readings rouse room
Bright blessings bloom


Tale trumpets trace
Seek sanguine space


Faith frames fine face
Ponder prompt pace


Wonder works write
Cheer channels cite


Claim clever cheer
Seek sublime seer


Notice new notes
Route richer rotes


Buoyant brew bites
Work well wise writes


Readings reach right
Scan superb sights

With you here
I live cheer


A fine range
Of change strange


Joy swirls sad
Glad twirls mad


With your smile
Feel love style


A new day
Feel fond play


Dream come true
That's my you


With your touch
Grand seeds much


A deep feel
Grooms fine will


In your eyes
Grace leaps high


With each read
Poise now seeds


A kind tint
Hints new mint


With...

sagacious woman
psychic healer and reader
lovely predictions

silver crossed her palm
people waited in long lines
her readings a joy

her children waited
hoping for her attention
they are still waiting...

Words on the brink
Merge beyond think


Words seem to feel
That touch can heal


Readings ply lines
That feel inclines


Not much to say
In mad array


Joy seeds a frown
When cheer meets clown


Too much of noise
Ferments new voice


Mad verse can teach
Such unknown reach


Prize in bold jest
That awkward test


Readings forge things
From savvy...

I latest piece is too long the poem section - so it's in "Short Stories." 

It's called "the writers." I could shorten it - but why? *shrug* 

Here's the link: (you have to add the https part)

There was a day set aside for the wedding
but the groom was very much dreading
it would be the same day
his grand final would play
and that’s where it looked it was heading

Alas his worst fears came true
So what was he s’posed to do?
Change the date
he’d marry...

Desert dust before the rain hampered our walk
