Expectations Unbound
Unbound dedication
To a world of poetry
Their life
Poets gathered
To hear poets
Speak of joy
Turmoil
Life
In their language
With unbound enthusiasm
Unbound Book Festival
This morning, at the Unbound Book Festival in Columbia, Missouri, I attended a reading by Francine J. Harris and Angela Hume.
This is my response to Twiglet #275: a world of words and Day 23 at napowrimo.net, where we are asked to “write a poem in the style of Kay Ryan, whose poems tend to be short and snappy.”

Thanks, Merril. The Unbound Book Festival is an annual event (6th or 7th, I think), and it never disappoints.

Thank you, Liz. I’ve been doing Zoom sessions with Columbia, MO, poets since the start of the pandemic. (The one good thing to come out of COVID, for me – finally making a connection with local poets.) And, I’ve been participating in open mics, here in Jefferson City, since December. Both have helped with my comfort level when it coming to reading.
Thank you for making “Poets in the Blogosphere” the wonderful afternoon that it was.
