A mish mash of poets

The folk in the cafe. Punctuate as you see fit please :)

We are a mish mash
a melange
a global community of odd bods
of wannabes and has beens
of key board tapping
paper scratching folk
with time to spare
words to share
We self level
form hierarchies
sit ourselves on chosen shelves
book ending these with favourites
with peers who are peerless
and those that are fearless
posting not boasting
ne'er decrying but toasting
if not the quality
then the effort
We are a mish mash
a melange
of like minded
poets...

I know what you are thinking " he just called himself a poet, is he 'avin' a larf or wot "

A poet is a love some thing.. and so is your dedication to the/our melange, a wonderful word and under the circumstances, near perfect. You seem able to pick a word out of a hat and write something special.. or funny.. or so many things. And here you are, not travelling far, have told the Cafe's people just what they're doing here, singly as a whole! How very true. Thank you, Gee, Safety and smiles wished to you and your ladies.

I agree my friend. I have enjoyed the W.C for many years. A gathering of people who love to read and write. Thank you, my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I was researching your poetry (you'll know why in a few days) and found this. Love to read poets writing about poetry. Poetry begets poetry. Watch the mish mash mesh in colors I hope to find....in one of your poems.

[Gee]

Morning, there are many better folk on here to researching :)
Cheers

[William Michael Reeves]

I'm researching your color. Your poetry not poetry in general. But I like your poetry. I hope you do too. You'll understand in a day or two when I drop this thing I'm writing. A thing! As a new poetry form. Actually it's an epic medley of all the color all the poets have written. Curious? You'll just have to wait....

I don't know what's so different about poets? Us writers of stories have the same problems! INSPIRATION !
I like your style Gee!

[Gee]

Thanks Augustus

Nice Work Gee you can't beat the Company of Poets 😊😊😊

[Gee]

You can beat a drum, you can beat a carpet, but you cannot beat the company of poets :)
Cheers red

I think there is truth in this - Poets understand other Poets like noone else - their problems, their traumas, and hopefully their triumphs as well. Sites like Writers Cafe and Amazon UK Poetry have made what was really a very bleak and thankless task as recently as the 90s much much improved - hey we can Publish Ebooks for FREE on Amazon, get paid for Sales in Royalties, have 'Bestsellers' on the Amazon Lists, and have our Books sold all over the World - Way to go !!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All that and more we are. I have so thoroughly enjoyed my time at the cafe, due not just to the fascinatingly different styles and poets; but also to the wonderful interaction enjoyed by one and all.

Long may this place and its denizens, flourish.

Beccy.

PS. Trust you and yours are well and keeping safe.

[Gee]

Hi Beccy, all good here thanks. Celebrating 27 years of marriage today, the good lady deserves a medal.
Hope you are all well.
Thank you

This should be our anthem, Gee! So well written and very descriptive of who we are here at the WC! I liked the scattered rhyme and the self-deprecating humor in this. Great work. Lydi**

[Gee]

Thank you Lydia

[Robert Trakofler]

You are that and much more Gee! I read & participate in a lot of journals and websites blogs and "avant garde" literature venues... I hold this crazy bunch of Cafe hacks in a far higher esteem than any and I MEAN ANY of those other places of publication! This is a very special place, a constant source of inspire, and I have grown to love so many of the hearts I have come across and learned so very much from them!

[Gee]

Massage my ego please :)) joking.
It is a fine place to learn and hopefully I have done that during my time here. How can we not when there are so many talented folk, you being one of them.
Thank you kindly Robert, hope you are well

[T.S. Ulmus]

You are truly a poet, we are of one flesh. You saw the world and managed to put words to some piece of it. Also, nice internal rhymes.

[Gee]

Thank you kindly
