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.

A great poem, Ernestine, describing the essence and the camaraderie of the meeting. Let's hope that this is the start of an annual pilgrimage. And what better place than Stratford? Thanks for this one. Love, Fran xxx
A poem filled with warmth and fun. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. I must make it to the next one. Love, Gina.
A great summary Ernestine of a memorable and enjoyable event.Good Setting, good company, good weather what more can you ask for except...'Lets do it again next year'. Any takers? Sid John xx

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
