In Stratford-on-Avon,
A Poet’s true haven,
We met as great pals,
The men and the gals.

Hi Ernestine. It sounds like you had a great day out because it shows in your poem, and there's nothing like being in the presence of good company. well done **10** Regards Dave T.
Nothing finer than being locked away with a bunch of nuts and an endless amount on tap. Thanks
Talk about a slice of Utopia on Earth...looks like you all captured it true! ...And the capper, would be this beautiful presentation of the entire experience...Sterling work, young lady...YOU ARE INDEED A POET OF QUASI TALENT! FjR
What a lovely tribute Ernestine, I so wish I could've made it there, it all sounded such fun, you've captured the camaraderie perfectly. Thank you for sharing, have seen some pics so I now have faces to names now, what a great crowd you all looked! HG: -) xx
This is the perfect tribute Ernestine. A cracking poem on the event that gives the naygoers like me a flavour and more, of what we missed. Well, there's always next year. Very well written, and catches a certain excitement and pleasure that makes the whole idea very attractive indeed.... thank you, jim xxx
Ernestine, it was a great time, the sad bit was when we all had to leave. We went there as strangers, but come away as friends. The weather was kind, and the company could not have been better. I for one am looking forward to the next time we meet. I think all who were there came away with a great deal of treasured memories. I know that I did. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. David
This is great...You've written this in a way that we all can feel like we were also at this gathering....By the way, I love the picture of the group too......marci.xo
A great summary Ernestine of a memorable and enjoyable event.Good Setting, good company, good weather what more can you ask for except...'Lets do it again next year'. Any takers? Sid John xx
A poem filled with warmth and fun. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. I must make it to the next one. Love, Gina.
A great poem, Ernestine, describing the essence and the camaraderie of the meeting. Let's hope that this is the start of an annual pilgrimage. And what better place than Stratford? Thanks for this one. Love, Fran xxx
Sounds 'upbeat'... wish i were there. Thanks for the poetic report and vivid image
so well written i could see myself there. As always Ernestine your perfect choice of rhyme ensure this poem has both a great flow and feel to it. When opening up one of your poems the reader is virtually always assured of a grand read. best wishes Robin
How well you have captured it all! How do I know? I was there! Nice penning E. hugs CJ
I didn't attend not meant to offend life is too busy sometimes I'm quite dizzy those poses you made on photo parade do you know where I might have a glimpse of those pictures of poets the ones I've not met?
Hi Ernestine A lovely poem. It sounds like it all became real for you, rather than an internet experience. That was a lovely piece. Your subjects are so many and varied. Bravo to you Steve
