Mark came with me to the meeting
With Elisa
Very promising
I was reticent about putting forth
My desire to read my writings
Specifically poems
But some short prose
Out loud
With other
Like-minded
writers
Elisa responded
Enthusiastically
Even described the
Ambience of the room
Where these events
Might take place
With a microphone
And a musical instrument
Perhaps a piano
Or a drum
She made it clear that
DCC is looking for activities
That involve the congregation
Since participation has fallen off
During the pandemic years
They are looking to fill the void
Right up my alley
And Mark’s
We mentioned Amahl and the Night Visitors
A chamber opera we performed many times
In the early years of Goat Hall Productions
Elisa thought that was great
I assured her that I would not feel reticent
In the future
About coming to her with
Ideas
For activities and events
That might attract some members
Of the congregation
All I have to do is
Put it down on paper
Show to Elisa
And be willing to do whatever is necessary
To attract some writers who want to
Read their work
Or engage in some open mike
Surprises
So now I need to
Imagine
All the varieties of events
That could occur
Under a single title
Such as
Calling all Poets Thinkers and Wordsmiths
If you want to recite
Or read your work
Tell your story
Jam with a band
Come to DCC
On
(Date and time
Location
Etc.)
