Image: A Culture of regular Meetings (here)
the 11 of 12 given words:
walked shades together poems fruit wore
favorite listened wine before festival:
walked the shades shadowed together
nary a moment true without their poems
fruit of their labour tucked safely under
it wore on a favorite of their own intrusions
they listened amidst wine and festivities
a gathering of like-minded souls as before
tagging along also members of their family
making it a convention of sorts and more
independence of people, a festival of culture
a meeting of fertile minds bandied about
in a fighting atmosphere of friendly banter
progressive poets' outing with big shouts
MMT's Sunday's Whirligig #119
Susan's at PU's Midweek Motif - independence

The friendly way can win the day. Nothing wrong with trying to outdo the other, as long as all kept in good fun. Like #1 lol
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gathering: new poets and old, living and dead--and our families and friends. That's quite a crowd for independence! I love the title and the presence always of poetry written and unwritten.
