My 2nd rispetto
I chanced upon creative group of poets in a Jewish booth; Thrilled, I could not contain a whoop - Perhaps therein I'd hear some truth! I'd friendships deep with bards afar... But this? The twangs of live guitar? Among like-hearts in Jerusalem My inmost voice professed: I am!
P.S.
I am offline for ~25 hours – from sunset on Monday to sunset on Tuesday – for another Jewish holiday (’tis the season…). I look forward to reconnecting with you soon!

Thank you for sharing, David. An inspiring, colorful, and beautiful space to read and listen to poetry. Lucky you! You being the only man (on time) does not surprise me. If we ever have a man join us in a writing workshop, he is usually the only one. All voices and perspectives contribute to the group dynamic. โจ Thanks for sharing what appears to be a wonderful experience, and one that I hope you get to do again. ๐
How lovely for like-minded people meeting together.
๐ Carol ๐ – so much so!

This is my favorite poem title of all your poetry โบ๏ธ

whoop the bub – father said: don’t do as i do
do as I say – be a humanist
no he said, I’d rather be like you:
I’ll be a scientist too;
so life twirled him around
and he learned to say
what he said to be
a poet of
Babylon
