February Group Meeting

I apologize for getting to this so late- it kind of slipped out of my mind and set up residence in a small dustball by my memoir writing folder, but it finally snuck back in. So here we go: we had many of our usual suspects bring new work in as well as 2 newcomers who showed artful eyes for detail and commentary.

Diana, Patrick, Don, and Cheryl were our regulars. Diana, as usual, brought along her skewering wit (at least for those she's had relationships with). Patrick showed off his unusual flair for witty short verse. Don brought down the house with a couple more of his performed poems (one was his JonBenet work, which always brings sympathy and cringes). Cheryl brought more of her vivid haiku, which flow right out of her pen as easily as breath.

Elsa was one of our newcomers and she brought domestic poems happening both in and out her house. One was about how her dog always seems to be everywhere you are, even tho she didn't see/hear him coming. I cannot remember our 2nd new group member's name at this time, but she did go beyond the superficial in commenting on both Don and Patrick's work- and an honest, thoughtful critique is always appreciated.
