The conference
I had gone to a writer's conference
The room was full of authors only interested
in reading and pushing their book
I had brought a book called Hunger, written
by Knut Hamsun, the pages were loose and
kept falling off, but there was a picture
of him a stern man-looking intellectual
The leader of the meeting, a man who was
proud he

The Conference of the Crows
More important than any conference
In the world
Is the conference of the crows.
Which took place
Just outside my balcony at four.
The President of the crows
Called the others looking troubled.
All came there
Looking quite muddled .
The President, taking a deep breath, said
"Caw,Caw,Caw,Caw,Caw".
Not caring about the people he will wake.
Then the crows, all in harmony,
...

Conference
Into the closed doors,
Open once more.
After a night,
Too much delight.
Now the morning starts,
Scrambling people,
Will be out.

Impress With Words and Wine
In his speech always some difference,
Even while it is tea conference.
Often for the No-Nonsense Meeting.
Where one must check Effusive Greeting;
Raising the notion of deference:
Stanley’s robust search for reverence.
And for quotes to minds a reference…
But Wit is beginning to Ear ache,
In the past served and much was cake ;
Wit changed to Dollar had dropped naught,
His speech

Chewing At the Press Conference
Let’s give him the nickname of Sayles.
In suit, he does chomp at his nails.
Preoccupied schlub
gnaws down to the nub.
A shame as he chews at details.

Staff Conference
Another staff meeting,
there are lizards at the table,
a few goats, an ass.
I know they return to
the fold of a superficial normality
at weekends,
some even rock climb
or enjoy a quiz-night at their local pub,
one builds model ships out of matchsticks,
but here they exist zoologically
on the musky fumes of
their animal instincts.
I consider myself human
but at times my self-image

To agree on one decision,

A Successful One and Done Message
I look out there
With a curious stare
An informative world conference experience
Should be attended if serious
No one can be seen
What could it mean?
Except for a gentlemen
A message the individual wanted to send
Holding a nation flag, notebook, and pen
A voice

Conference To Elicit Joy
A conference for four hundred and twenty-five
I was the only one extremely open and alive
Met a guy with a badge who claimed name of Fred
After trying to converse, realized he was dull as dead.
Woman named Nama was the next one I was to meet.
Extremely boring, brought her husband flaccid Pete.
They hold this conference to

Consuming Conference Call
teens table their tablets —
a boy and girl lean into conference.
their mom, the professional, puzzled
as the family dishes out dinner, discussing
the call, “that man and his sidekick, so funny!”
tasteful humor provides entertainment.
