“Poetry On Tap”

We were twelve or sixteen

maybe more, who weren't seen

plus a smiley lady behind the bar

and another one, not too far.

Then four enlightened ones,

talented, friendly, joined all at once

with their artistic sides,

books, inspiration, like-minds.

Beer on tap, poetry and chat

to that place and poets I tip my hat!

[This poem's event happened on April 23, 09 at Minhas Lazy Mutt Lounge in the charming Wisconsin town, Monroe. It was a very enjoyable Poetry Reading with tap beer as courtesy of Minhas Craft Brewery. The Prairie Fire Poetry Quartet presented their lively program called "Under the Influence" – the award-winning Wisconsin poets are John Lehman, Shoshauna Shy, Richard Roe, and Robin Chapman.]
