Dear Bob

The Austin Poetry Society met today
at the Austin History Center.We gathered chairs together
but they were not enough for the spillover crowd
(more than had ever been seen @an APS meeting-ever!)
The last two rows were devoted to friends and family
of the two winners of the Young Writers Award
supported by the Poet Laureate of Texas 1964
who said "I am 83-and i still write daily!"
Awards were presented,poems heard,applause shared
but then our direction was directed to the table @the back
where name tags awaited members of APS
There ,on that long table,was your name tag,Bob-awaiting your return
See you end of March 2011-for AIPF,APS,Forrest Fest,Thirsty Thursday
and the new Poetry Festival to be held at St Edwards University campus-
the genesis of this coming from one of the two young writers
Jake Ryan.More details to follow.Trust poetry and art and music are alive
where you are,Bob! Bloom where you are planted,then float across borders
like butterflies ,birds,bees and poems-to live
is the best art form.Epic.Narrative.Free Verse!
May every moment be a step towards your flight!
Your name (tag)is on the program.You are already here!
