Losing in love, the market place, or cards
Carries a price tag that is measured in time.
It would be foolish to assume winning is free.
When the gods reward your prayers
So that hope for 20 people at your party
Turns into 60 happy guests
Something has gone far too right!
When a poetry reading event
That requires no entry qualifications
Produces 10 to 15 well written verses, you may be overjoyed.
How might you respond to 30 superb poetic offerings?
Such were the results of our first Poetry Jam.
From an opening Rap piece through tales of adversity,
Memories of first love and religious prayers,
We heard truths, laughter and received extraordinary
insights.
When the poetry and praise had ended
Came the recognition that a repeat performance
Could not be delayed beyond January,
My thoughts turned to the impossible.
How could we duplicate the quality of this evening?
