Poetry Slam at Cookie's Creative Cafe & Coffee House

There's going to be a Poetry Slam at Cookie's Cafe.

Anyone who wants can step up to the mike and read her/his poetry.

Doesn't have to rhyme.

Doesn't have to make sense.

Doesn't need anything but a willingness to share

& a voice of your own.

Please consider yourself invited to participate starting this weekend.

Cookie's will be giving out free pieces of chocolate cake, truffles,

and unlimited wine, coffee and tea.

Even if you just write two lines,

or four.

or eight.

Come write

& read

among friends

Bird Verses - Poetry from 53A

Demure and

Eager

She sits in her nook

Ear turned to listen for

Rustle of insect wings

To complete her meal.

Bathed in moonlight

Luna's glow

Unveils her hidden space.

Evasive insects

Break away

In search of

Refuge from her

Darting eyes.

Inspiration for this simple pencil drawing came from Desert Colors

Avatar And Our Renee

Renee, this is for you, in two parts.  First, you will have to go to my blog to read "Avatar".  Sometimes, you know a thing but don't know why you know it.   Something is so, so, familiar and yet elusive.  And then the words just flow, like they do when we all think of you.  Lolo said it first - "Renee is pure inspiration".  Kj latched onto it immediately.   And we all caught on quickly. 

So I want to say this to you because we all love you and you mean the world to us.  Here's why.


Renee, you can fly!

You are my Hero

You are the Pathfinder

You are Stardust

I see you.

We all see you.

xoxo right back at you

Linda

Cut Short into second reprint in just 6 months
Runaway success for first-time No Exit novelist Leigh Russell, reflected in the fact that her book, Cut Short, has needed to be reprinted twice in just six months. Leigh's follow-up novel, Road Closed, is due in the shops in June this year.

Thank you to everyone on Blogland Lane who bought a copy of Cut Short and helped with this success. I value your support. Cut Short will be available on amazon.com again very soon. A reprint is in hand as I write this. Amazon.co.uk still have some copies, and the book is available in bookshops throughout the UK.

It's fun fun fun!

to all my friends...
