Excellent Reading poems to the oldest book club in Ohio Booklovers by Gordon Alexander Share A Story In A Poem contest entry

A dream of mine came true today, Good fortune seemed to smile my way. Ten ladies asked would my poems I read, My answer was “Oh yes indeed!” These book club members each so unique, An unknown poet they had asked to speak. And they seemed to like the poems I read, The opposite of which was mine to dread. Instead, unvarnished conversation, That turned out for me a memorable occasion. They probed inquisitively for my inspiration, My answers spontaneous without hesitation. Since writing a book is like baring your soul, For ten Booklovers to read mine was joy untold. Author Notes One of the book club members asked might I find inspiration for a poem from this occasion. That thought stuck with me the rest of the day. It was a sense that I could be totally honest with this group of Booklovers and felt free to do so.
