Smazogz Poems Q

qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

QUILL’S First Words (creative writing group in Great yarmouth UK)

After months of planning it all fell into place

Ordered & formulated with not a smidgeon of blue tac misplaced

With advertisements and fliers psychedelically arranged

A whole encyclopedia’s worth of ideas exchanged

All our individuality came together as a single entity

To look around cinematically at our combined talents

Was awe inspiring & visually stunning, an achievement to be proud of

They say the best things in life are free

All of us at Quill thank the Sea Change Trust for letting us use their gallery

Not forgetting Tesco of course, for their benevolence and contributions

The three bottles of wine and eighteen bags of crisps filled our table nicely

Jack & Brian both lent their hands, Kate upheld her procedural overview

Jackie arranged the anthologies, with some aid from David and Sue

Fiona acted out some brilliantly encapsulating ‘pantomime poetry’

The six weeks planning we had really got our creative juices flowing

The scope of subject’s wall bound keeps on growing and growing

Messages from strangers who came to know us, just a bit

Warming comments, in the local newspaper with a page 25 headline hit

Good vibes reverberated in our humble, sanguine array of fine poetry & art

As far as debut’s go we can say we were well received & all, in our own special, individual ways, looked eye-catching, professional and smart.

Liz & Earnest added hand painted art. A tremendous, colourful, flying start

The private viewing, from my point of view was fine

Sat there on the arm of the settee wearing a big grin most of the time

So thank you all Quill members

For sharing what is yours with what is mine

And a toast to all our members not here now

I hope they are all doing fine
