THAT POETRY CLUB
is a space of much awe,
Of mutual respect,
admiration, and more.
Thank you, Corinne
For holding this space
For curating poetry
With such humour and grace.
For creating a space
So real and so raw
That anyone, no matter who
Feels free to take the floor.
Sessions start off demure
With poets shy to share
But like karaoke
By the end we’re clamoring to bare..
Our hearts and our minds
Sometimes our souls, we trace
We do it all at
That Coffee Place.
Coffee, cake, water
& for the Queen wine
Are distributed by Russell
And his right hand Tamsyn.
Queen C presides over
Her variegated flock
Making sure that no one
Especially Cherry, runs amok!
Roach raps with rizzlers
And speaks from the heart
While Ant implies sex with much he imparts.
Derek, waxes lyrically
Much too about sex
While Tamsyn digs deep
About her ex.
Cherry brings words historical & dramatic
But when not poetical
Queen C gets dogmatic!
Ed sits in the middle
And mixes great poetry
While Patti shares
Her beautiful story.
Jann & Jess
Are new to the club
Adding wonderful insights
To the general hubbub.
Others enjoy who
I do not include
Apologies for your exclusion
I don’t mean to be rude.
Thanks again, Corinne
Your wit and your wisdom
Are awe-inspiring
Your humour and humility
Utterly beguiling.
Gorgeous & gregarious
Bathurst’s literary beauty
Charismatic & courageous,
fiesty & fruity!
Queen of Couture
You leave us in rapture
With your short, sharp poetics
Us all you encapture
That Poetry Club
1st Thursday each moon
Led by Queen C
It can’t come round too soon!
