Some poetry from our participants ...
IT’S NOT OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER by Sally Ann Miller
April snowstorm, squalling May Day, mayday quashed in the wind. Yellow spikes of forsythia, forced inside, are the only ones spared. Daffodils, in full bloom on my garden flag fly horizontal, snap furiously.
Tis the day to celebrate the wedding of Heaven and Earth So it is written in Druid lore. A great power is unleashed from the Sun to warm the Goddess, Mother Earth. The sun gleams over the horizon from the East as the birds proclaim Let summer begin.
Poets and poetry-lovers of all ages and levels of experience are invited to read or recite their own work, or the work of an admired poet. Our theme for February 21 is "the unknown". But any topic is welcome. As readers arrive and sign in, Mr. Clow will read a few poems to get things started. Each poet may initially read several pieces (approximately 5-10 minutes total per poet), or more if time permits.
Join host Christopher Clow for an intimate evening devoted to the performance of poetry at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Café, 22 W. Main St. in Angelica.
