A mish mash of poets

The folk in the cafe. Punctuate as you see fit please :)

We are a mish mash
a melange
a global community of odd bods
of wannabes and has beens
of key board tapping
paper scratching folk
with time to spare
words to share
We self level
form hierarchies
sit ourselves on chosen shelves
book ending these with favourites
with peers who are peerless
and those that are fearless
posting not boasting
ne'er decrying but toasting
if not the quality
then the effort
We are a mish mash
a melange
of like minded
poets...

Author's Note

I know what you are thinking " he just called himself a poet, is he 'avin' a larf or wot "

A poet is a love some thing.. and so is your dedication to the/our melange, a wonderful word and under the circumstances, near perfect. You seem able to pick a word out of a hat and write something special.. or funny.. or so many things. And here you are, not travelling far, have told the Cafe's people just what they're doing here, singly as a whole! How very true. Thank you, Gee, Safety and smiles wished to you and your ladies.

Well I'm certainly an odd bodd that's for sure....love being on here at the WC with all the other odd bodds as well. Very nicely put and brought a nice smile to my face. Thank you

[Gee]

Cheers Troy, hope you are keeping well

[Ana Papaya]

Ha! Nice one! Yes, I might count myself among the odd bods. :)

[Gee]

I too am an odd bod :))
Thank you Ana, hope you are well

[Ana Papaya]

i am very well. :)
thanks Gee, and hope you are too!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Very droll and accurate assessment here Gee! Ad-lib option for punctuation piques interest and creativity in the reader. Perky short lines, rhythm and rhyme of it. Yes we are- whatever we are- and glad to be what we are! Cheers!

[Gee]

Thank you Annette.
Hope you are well

Well done Gee.

[Gee]

We all got in somewhere no matter what we offer.
Thanks Alan

I wouldn't exactly say "like minded" but I would certainly say "like effort".

You can call yourself a poet Gee; it would be difficult to say otherwise given your body of work here.

[Gee]

Aye, we do try.
Thank you Dave

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Definitely the effort which binds us together in one way or the other.
On a lighter note, do you have a specific definition of 'poet'? I mean, how do you classify one to be a poet? ;)
Loved reading this one by you, brought a smile to my face :D

[Gee]

I struggle to differentiate between the different styles of writing so to define a poet is well beyond me.
Hope you are well Doc.
Thank you

An apt description of our poetic community. The important thing is that we are a creative community. Poets at heart or professionals.And for artists, creativity and inspiration are the key to happiness. However, practice makes perfect.However long it takes.

[Gee]

Thank you kindly sir

[John the Baptist]

Indeed, and we should take credit. After all, we could be making crystal meth.

[Gee]

Now there's an idea :)) Would be interesting to read what folk posted while off their trolleys.

"Off their trolleys." Love it. You Brits are the slang and cursing champs of the world. And I bloody mean it.

a very apt description of the community

Cheers Dave, hope you are well.
