Poems & Coffee Meetup

"Hi there Eddie! So, for May it'll actually be at 10 am--an hour later! Hope you can make it!"

"Hey there Shawn, So to post your poem, just go to files on the left side, and once you click it you can upload your poem. Please post your Peanut poem soon! "

"Howdy! 9 am is pretty darn early for me as I work nights as a bartender. But hey, there's coffee right? In the bar I can recite on the spot that famous poem... "I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make..." Cheers Ed"

"thanks Alice. when I get a minute, I will post the other 2 that were read at the meeting, and I will try to remember to bring the on about the river wraith that I mentioned, at the next meeting. "

"April, thanks so much for posting your poems. I know that "See the person inside" must have inspired many people when it was published. It definitely inspires me to appreciate life's gifts."

"oh wow I feel your pain about the crappy schedule. I missed the last meetup for this group and one other for this other gal pal one. I'm not working right now but my school schedule is so funky. Oh also I changed pictures so don't think this is a different gal : )"

"I'm coming into Portland soon as I can find a job within the city limits - which should only take me years. Until then, I keep watching most of these meetings happen but can't attend most of them because of a sucky job schedule *sigh* I wouldn't mind talking with you about stuff..."

"oh wait you live in washington....that still counts : ) I lived in vancouver when I first moved out here and have only been actually in portland for a couple months : )"

"Hi my name is Kristen and I'm a bit of a newby to the city too (I moved here in Nov.) When are you coming in? ~Krissy"

"Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Today's first gathering was fun. Folks said that it was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. A few of us read our own poems (to today's attendees--please... "

"I've been working on my own poetry and would love a forum to get additional feedback. My influences are Hass, Dunn, Simic, Young and Atkinson. At least they are the poets I have purchased most recently."

""Hello.... My goal is to become the worst poet in History. Truth be told it is an ambitious goal, but I am determined to fail. So if I can learn what everyone is doing right and do the exact opposite, I am sure I can succeed in my failure. Yes!! "

"hi, I have been writing poetry for a long time but - much more often since 2000. Can't wait to meet other local poets. "

"I think I will, I love it so far. It's agreat place and all of the people that i have met are great so far as well. I look forward to meeting you and many mowe great people from the group. ciao, until then"

"New to poetry, just getting my feet wet! and testing the water"
