Poets Invade Delightful DeLand
~*Marge Tindal*~

Delightful DeLand
The Athens of Florida ... proud

Awaits the poets from around the world
who will have us laughing out loud~

Krissy will arrive
with sleepy eyes
To try to kiss-nap Dallas~
She's in for a treat
when Kirby she meets
and the birds-of-a-feather
will want to gawk and squawk
at all these ladies I've gathered~

Kethry in-tow
will love the places we go~
Maureen my long-time friend
will share with me a long over-due grin~

Titia will gather soil
from the mecca of this land
Transporting it in tiny containers
to deliver to another's hand~
(and gather knuffels to take back to Muys !)

MarshaLove will soar
with friends of her adore
Bill will be the gent-of-the-day
Those gals won't let him get away~

We'll dine in style
at Main Street Cafe
The restaurant Steven Tindal manages
in a very special way~

My brother, Tony, will meet us
to share a laugh or two
He'll crack the girls up
as he can certainly do~

June and her Bill will join us
and we'll head for her home for dessert
Then off to see Kimberly and David Tindal
parents of Delightful Delaney
who is the cutest little flirt~

And me ... ?
I'm just going to be
the happiest poet of us all
~

Then the weekend at the Villa
in Tampa ... over New Port Richey way
will culminate in other PiP friends
coming over to play~

*This beautiful gathering has been a long time in the planning ...
and now IT'S A HAPPENING tomorrow !!
Oh, somebody keep my feet on the ground ...
I'm just in poetic heaven !

PiP Florida Meet
September 2002

I'm jealous too - But this GypsiNess has to get a grip sometime and hold down the homefront...

Take LOTS of pictures, and we'll give this great meeting a whole new section of our Poet2Poet section... YEAH..

This lovely gaggle of poets JUST left here~
Oh my god .... we had SO MUCH FUN~

DeLand will never be the same~
A swell time was had by all ... and my what lovely folks~

We had 12 of us for lunch ... DELICIOUS~
Visited June and Bill's museum home ..
I'll let the girls tell you all about it~
They ALL got to give Delaney Delight ....
Auntie *hugs* ... and true to form ... Delaney 'performed' like a little champion ~
I'm sure the photos will make their way to the forums .... it was a true blessing to me to be able to have her meet them~
This day is recorded in her baby book~

We came back here and Bill serenaded us for a wonderful show~
Marsha got me on the dance floor ... and did her own therapy on my back !

All in all ... I am so happy !
Anybody surprised ?  Nah !
What great people .... what great friends~

If Marsha and Maureen ever enter a 'talk-a-thon' ...
put your $money$ on them ... you'll get rich~

Love n' tired *hugs*

We came, we saw, we went home via Tampa but we had sooo much fun. I can't wait till y'all come across to our place in Newport Richie

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Glad to hear you had a blast!

How wonderful that you can all meet up together, I am so envious that I couldn't be there to join in the fun.

Take care......Sue

Small "pressies" collected with care
Sit with film cannisters full of dirt
None of us will be going anywhere...
I'm wallowing in disappointment and hurt.

Save that hug for me, lady... one of these days. *S*
