Poems Around Campfire

Around the warm, unfurled campfire
The Showcase Poets gather
Forming round, as sun retires
And golden rays light scatter

Sharing poems of smiles and laughter
Filling the night with mirth
Chatting about the fun parts after
Free-rising above the earth

Voices enthused with gleeful sprite
Talking of tales and stories
Under the tranquil, star-filled night
Speaking of allegories

Telling the poems of wrenching woes
That brings the tears free-falling
Having our deepest depths, expose
Hearing the winds light-calling

Poets of young, and poets of old
Infusing from each other
Never the night around, grows cold
Cause wisdom bonds and covers

With many legions to be heard
So many not yet seen
And vast emotions to be stirred
Upon this sprouting scene

Newer faces come and join
Around this growing fire
Volume rising, phrases coined
To insight and inspire

Ever-growing is the Case
With new arising voices
Adding to this spreading base
Of all assorted choices

what a great poem, you took the words (or something like it right out of my mouth...)
wouldnt it be great to have a poetry convention where we could all meet for a week? like a"spa" convention,,,we could read poetry together around the campfire on the beach, then go have a massage....then a great dinner,,,awesome!
what do you say "poetry showcase?" I'll bring the wine...

Great!...

Drunk poets...Yippee! With slurred poems (lolz). There's so much more we can do with this site..(like make an open chat room.. instead of forums).. Or, like you said Linda- "Spa" the freak out and boogie round the town...(please pay little or no attention to this last line)~ B.E.Coast
