On the second birthday of the blog, I'd like to say a special congratulations to Ashley Lister. Without his constant attention and hard work, the open mic events and the blog wouldn't happen. Sure, there's a group of folks beside him, and we all do our bit, but it's Ashley who makes sure the practical arrangements are in place that allow us to continue. His long-term commitment has built the DGP from a small group of enthusiastic students into a 200 plus throng of poetry lovers. Michelle Hayward has tirelessly promoted the group and co-hosted our events for past five years and she also deserves recognition (and a drink) for making the DGP something we can boast to our friends about.
And without further schmooze or ado, I present:
Deux Deux
Two is a euphemistic crap
A cardinal without his hat
Two is a glyph that resembles a duck
The switch that transforms me into them and us
Two are the shoes but rarely the socks
It's goggles and crutches and earrings and rocks
Two has a wubble-dew sneakily hid
It's Ray's dancing toaster, Venkman's rampant id
Two is a couplet upholding strong verse
It's the fingers I raise to the perceived reader's expectation of form.
Random thought for the day: If the blog was a person, would you invite him/her over for a brew or would you suggest meeting in a public place?
