Open Mike at Roe Jan Library

Open Mike
at Roe Jan

The men marched up
To click and quip.
Intelligent gents
Word warriors.
At attention!
Firing rounds!!
Spitfires!

The women
Swayed
And rocked their newborn
Poems;
Twirled their lullabies
“Til comfort clothed us all.
And blessed, we bowed our heads.

All rights.
