SYMPOSIA POETRY CONTEST
Sponsored by Julia Ward.
I wish to inform all citizens that I am hereby calling symposia. The battle against repression has been won and the war is over.
Very noble ideas will be initiated which you will soon discover.
The King ordered me to organize a conference to create a utopia.
The highest level judge, come and share some kingdom laws. A representative of commerce will address the economy. King Issaquena desires his people to feel secure and free, and for them to realize he demands liberty and justice for all.
The sheriff, the mayor, and the chief of police, I bid you come. The poorest person in the county, come boldly and be strong. Bring your stories and be seated at the table where you belong. The most acknowledged musician, come and sing us a happy song.

SYMPOSIA
There will be upcoming international symposia
on the emerging technology of efficient fastener.
This is my idea and I am acting as the convener,
kept the topic open, not restricted only to zipper.
This is personal invitation from me to you to come
as you will surely find the deliberations interesting
for there will be eminent delegates demonstrating
new techniques of binding as the recent invention.
You will benefit to learn skill of tying by taking part
for a fascinating session will be organized in the end
on the ways how the chattering lips can be fastened
if your spouse cannot keep the prattling mouth shut.

(I hope the end words of the outer
lines of each stanza are similar in sound)
The symposia on health
Will be on the weekend
Join us and bring a friend
Your body is your wealth
Addresses healthy food
Boiled water as example
Less fat, carbs than the apple
And no need to be chewed
With free t-shirt and ham
And some other offers
Please spread it to the others
Rest assured it's not a sham

Imagine a brilliantly intensely inner-connected symposia
Of beliefs that humans with nature and other species can be one,
Envision flying people taught by robins and wrens, for amazing bits of fun.
Join me Sunday at 9, off exit 2 off Highway 8, I do proposia.
If you would rather learn to build dams, bring a snorkel, and wear a swimming suit.
The beavers taught six to dam last year, from ages eighteen to eighty-two.
Come sign up for at least six of our classes, assure a terrific time for you.
We will have so much fun in the forest, this may become your most favorite hoot.
If you want to bring a companion, a spouse, an onlooker, or a really good friend,
Or just come alone, in your tennis shoes, with heart and mind open creatively wide,
Come to the shelter house and sign up for all events you think you can truthfully abide.
The day will be filled with joyous communion, and a communal campfire at the end.

You are invited to our Symposia on civil discourse--
The keynote lecture is titled 'Look before you leap'
during which you'll have to put your device to sleep--
Note that the presenter is by both sides of the aisle endorsed
After lunch will be a session on self-restraint--
Overcoming temptations to text or to tweet
no matter if done in a manner discrete--
With tips ranging from cutting edge to quaint
Wrapping things up will be a talk on listening with respect--
Featuring "If I understand you correctly then,..."
or "If you will permit me to make a suggestion,..."
~ And that's a preview of what from our Symposia to expect!
JOIN OUR LATE SUMMER GRAND SYMPOSIA
Audacious and inspiring smart topics
Discussions on depression and conflicts
Uplifting and supportive trek to health
JOY OF SPEAKER’S STRENGTH AND BOLD RESOLVE
Increasing verve & proof you’re not defective
Will stretch your mind and change your perspective
A spiritual journey to change your life
EXPECT GREAT HIGHS AS LOWS DISAPPEAR
Dissipating doubts & increasing pride
Come out! Don’t hide! Release your better side.
Our speaker guarantees you’ll breathe freer

You're invited to a SYMPOSIA!
Expand your waist and expand your mind,
Study the stars while you're wined-and-dined,
A food and cosmic ambrosia!
Multiple telescopes - multiple cooks,
The best astronomers and cuisines,
Savory menus and astral scenes,
Deep-table banquets and deep-space looks!
What could go better with gourmet food,
Than gawking and talking of the stars -
Frying while eyeing features on Mars,
Stomach AND mind in a sated mood?
Forums on both with experts galore -
Physicists, chefs, and pundits to query,
Seasoning, reasoning, quantum theory,
Workshops on stargazing, glazing and more!
Get your seat now, and please don't be late!
You won't want to miss the cosmic food fun -
Of all the conventions, this is the one,
WhatEVER you love, on the sky ... or your plate!

Julia Ward, Judge & Sponsor
I invite you all to a symposia, a series,
A bunch of events on uplifting the dreary
I encourage everyone to please convene
On how we might unravel the things between
What people do and what people say
And how their dismay is not on display
Through these seminars we will discover
How to help our sisters and brothers
Those who suffer silently in front of our faces
And desperately need a soothing oasis
Together we will learn how to assist
Those whose depression always persists
My symposia welcomes you
On Texans' incessant bragging
Examples are far from lagging
As we examine this strange trait
We look at the geography
As seen through the egos extant
Then explain this absurd new slant
That the state contains the North Pole
A new perspective will arise
In debunking this local lore
An education is in store
From this brilliant New Yorkers mind

For Julia Ward's Symposia contest
A cornucopia of symposia
hoping to make the future rosier
banging a gavel to unravel
multiple knots of itinerant thoughts
billing and queueing a crisis slow brewing
the same old charade a grand masquerade
where everyone graces the room with two faces
theater heads one alive and one dead
solving the problem of how fast can we rob’em
scatter the cash in an off shore locked cache
hoorah for symposia, no doubts all supposia
a game of three shells all whistles and bells
just keep moving the pea so no one can see
we’ll never be rid of this schemed pyramid
