While the votes are being counted
Let's give ourselves a minute
Step away from the electoral fray
We'vebeen drowning in it
Month after month, day after day

Come to Poetry People
Where words will flow freely
You might want to dip your toe
In the easy current of community and poetry
Maybe share a new poem or one you already know

Tuesday night,
The 8th of November
From 7 to 8:30
Everybody, be sure to remember
To go to the Varnum Library

We promise not to poll you
Not a single hanging chad insight
No debate over blue or red
Just an evening of laughter, words and delight
And of course, Laurie's Chocolate Bread.

Writing In Our Heads,
Laurie and LN
