New Poet Richey Part two Friday Poetic Party Time This is also long, I hope you enjoy it so grab some popcorn and a drink and let's begin First things first so I grab Seymour and ‘Deer The barbie need assembling a tricky job I fear We need men and they are the likeliest pair It’s just our luck that their skills they will share Its no use expecting me to know how it’s done And we need the barbie to add to our fun So with the help of Isabel they assemble it Does anyone know where to put this bit? But eventually they get the coal nice and hot Everyone for bangers? Because we’ve got a lot Soon they are sizzling and food is dished out Hooray at last I heard Titia shout Keth is wielding the fork with such grace And Krissy as always is feeding her face Everyone ate and then Bill started to sing This poetry meet has plenty of zing Then we had the hit of this magical night Poetry filled our souls with such pure delight Keth read Banjo Pattison an Aussie poet of fame Then Krissy read one of mine much to my shame I read ‘Deer’s Mint Condition with glee Then ‘Deer recited Small Pain In My Chest beautifully Fran read The Portrait In The Hall and it was so good I’d listen to them all again if only I could There were gifts given out and that was fun Keth gave a jar of Vegemite to everyone What is that I heard someone say? And I tried to describe it in my own way Vegemite is like Marmite but not so sweet It’s a spread for your toast and quite good to eat Krissy wrinkled her nose when she heard that And said sotto voce I’d not give it to my cat Then more singing as Bill played once more And I finally got a chance to talk to Seymour Then just as we were about to go back to poetry I had a phone call Madame Chipmunk called me We’re up at Denny’s please where are you? We’re on our way I said we’ll fetch you two When we arrived they said with tears in their eyes We got lost, and I replied well, what a surprise Back to the villa with them both in tow Follow us we said we know where to go Everyone was so pleased that they made it at last With the tales of their adventures time flew past But finally we settled down to hear some poetry Then Seymour recited one of his wonderfully Nan’s spinet sonnet was received with delight I could have listened to more far into night Then we all settled down for the night This was after some events that gave me a fright I mean what with ‘Deer falling through the bed And Bill taking a tumble and landing like lead Those out by the pool settled down to sleep Little Mo in her cupboard didn’t utter a peep Krissy snored a little but responded to a poke And turned over quickly and no one awoke In the morning Keth woke Krissy she was wise Because Krissy isn’t nice when she opens her eyes She has a tendency to snap and snarl a bit Krissy doesn’t like mornings they aren’t a hit Like a firework it’s best to stand well clear She’s not exactly a ray of sunshine I fear But after a gallon of coffee she’s almost fine At least she’s not savage most of the time Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

I've had nightmares about putting that darned thing together...I can't even look at a barbie doll without cringing!!  The food was good, though, the music plentiful and the poetry unforgettable. It was a wonderful time and the fact that you put the whole thing together from England without ever having been to the states and had the whole week-end run so smoothly is absolutely amazing, mushy. You did a fantastic job (although you will modestly deny) and your efforts gave us a special time I'm sure none of us will ever forget.  Thank you, mushy  |

Marsha, This sounds like a wonderful time. I was in New Port Richey about two months before. Wish my visit there had coincided with the poet meet. Thank you for continuing to share the weekend with us through your fabulous writings.  Dawn |

Oh dear, you described it sooooo well, it makes me homesick to that villa in Tampa. It was a delicious poetic night in every way. Like Balladeer said, you deserve a loud  and a knuffel.Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Mushy, as an organiser extraordinaire you did good, and the poems not bad an all.  I'd be a drongo if I didn't say something nice so here goes.Excellent job, you cause the stars to shine and the sun to glow when you write like this. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I read this with a mixture of delight at your good times and envy that I wasn't there. *S* However, there's no dithering when it comes to the quality of the poem... it's great! *S* |
