Poetry in Paradise: Do you think you should come along to our next poetry afternoon??? Read this first!!

Go on give it a go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard about a poetry group

I thought that I may go

Then I wondered who would be there

And now I just don’t know.

Would they all be professionals?

Even though the add said they were not

Will they be wearing poetry uniforms?

That’s something I haven’t got.

Will they all be women?

Will they all be young or grey?

will there be any men there?

And would they all be gay.

What if my poems are weak?

And they all laugh at me

Well, the add did say no judging

And the subject theme was free

Decisions oh decisions

Are such hard things to make?

Do I be adventurous?

Such a chance should I take

Bring your friends along it said

Yes come along one and all

You can be a supporter

Or sip your coffee and be enthralled

Life is such a dilemma

I just don’t know what to do

What does a poet look like?

Are they just like me and you?

I guess I’ll just have to front up

Stick out my chin and stand up tall

All my questions will be answered

When I walk into that hall.

I’m sure they’ll all be human

Probably as nervous as me

If I’m not brave enough to read

I’ll just smile and enjoy the free coffee

So come along one and all

Yes!!! Lets all decide to go

We’ll see what a poet looks like

Then next time, we’ll all know.
