In Stratford-on-Avon,
A Poet’s true haven,
We met as great pals,
The men and the gals.
What a wonderful setting,
For the magic of getting
To know everyone.
And there was the sun,
So radiant all day,
In this warm month of May.
And the place that was the hub
Was the Pen & Parchment Pub.
An excellent rendezvous
For the whole PH crew.
So with photos galore
Which were worth posing for.
We’ll remember this meet,
That was really upbeat.
And you can be sure
We'll no longer feel obscure
For we’ve met face to face,
In Shakespeare’s birthplace.
And a yearly convention
Should now be our intention.
As the great family feeling,
Was so very appealing,
And one thing is quite clear, .
We must assemble next year.
With more faces to see,
At this Poemhunter jamboree.

What a lovely tribute Ernestine, I so wish I could've made it there, it all sounded such fun, you've captured the camaraderie perfectly. Thank you for sharing, have seen some pics so I now have faces to names now, what a great crowd you all looked! HG: -) xx
This is the perfect tribute Ernestine. A cracking poem on the event that gives the naygoers like me a flavour and more, of what we missed. Well, there's always next year. Very well written, and catches a certain excitement and pleasure that makes the whole idea very attractive indeed.... thank you, jim xxx
Ernestine, it was a great time, the sad bit was when we all had to leave. We went there as strangers, but come away as friends. The weather was kind, and the company could not have been better. I for one am looking forward to the next time we meet. I think all who were there came away with a great deal of treasured memories. I know that I did. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. David
Hi Ernestine A lovely poem. It sounds like it all became real for you, rather than an internet experience. That was a lovely piece. Your subjects are so many and varied. Bravo to you Steve
Hi Ernestine. It sounds like you had a great day out because it shows in your poem, and there's nothing like being in the presence of good company. well done **10** Regards Dave T.
Nothing finer than being locked away with a bunch of nuts and an endless amount on tap. Thanks

Talk about a slice of Utopia on Earth...looks like you all captured it true! ...And the capper, would be this beautiful presentation of the entire experience...Sterling work, young lady...YOU ARE INDEED A POET OF QUASI TALENT! FjR
