My oldest son is spending every morning this week at different coffee shops around town, reading poetry with his Literature class. Doesn't that sound wonderful?! Well... go grab your favorite flavor and let's join the beatnik crowd. Here's Penny Cafe at the Bean Scene...(Poem translation: "Life is like a lime. Tart and tangy. Mmm. SO sublime. QUIET. Speechless. Like. A Mime. Don't you dare waste my time! 'Cause life can STOOOOPPPP! ...on a dime.")
Classic love poems lavishly illustrated with Victorian art. 96 scented pages. Printed and bound in Italy. Starting at 1 cent on Amazon!

Oh, the Beatnik scene is very chic. I have watched this movie with my son. You just can't beat Goofy:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite poem is the classic Robert Frost, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." But, my favorite Love Ballad is "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes.

Oh I wish I could go too! I used to have a local coffee shop that did open mic poetry readings and we'd go sit and play chess and listen....bout the time I got my courage up to read some of mine they went out of business!
