Sugar Shack

This local coffee shop went out of business before I could post this poem to recruit more poets.

Come on down to the Sugar Shack
don’t you worry, we’ve got your back
We want your words in poet’s form
give us your calm or emotional storm
So pack up your poems if you’ve got the knack

On Thursday night we will recite
with poetry might to get insight
at 8th and 9th street in Greeley
A cozy place, a friendly face, yes really
A regular thing and nobody sings
test your rhyme not Icarus wings
Still not sure?
There is a cure.
Don’t pick up a book
but just take a look
the answer is all in your tea leaves

I’m sure they would say
if not right away:
hear words of wisdom or language of laughter
What you bring to the table is just what they’re after
poets in town make the world go round
so stay-- we’ll make it go faster

Limericks
