Los Angeles Poetry Club

Do you write poetry?

You should.


I ask if you do because I want things to change

I want you to Be the Change.

 

You, Cheryl.

You Edward.

You James.

You Marie.

You Tay.


You're the change that I want out there.

You're the one that will bring hope to the world.

This moment is yours.

Do with it as you please.


No matter what, know that this is a safe space to be.

You're welcome here.


You'll meet others who can understand what it's like to be

You're here with me

In California.

And God I love living here.


I fall in love here everyday I'm here.

I get to ponder about things like "why do we die?"

I try to come up with ideas to keep living.

To make today and the future better.


Maybe I'll be the one that does it

Maybe it'll be me.

Maybe it's you.

You should do it.

Without us here at the table

Our vision won't even be known.


Tell us all how you feel.

Even it's not ideal.


Success isn't without its share of failure.

So let's make a Poetry Club.

We can call it Sweet Poetry.

We can call it the Los Angeles Poetry Club.

Whatever it is, we'll know that it's a change

In the right direction.


From within.

A hope for a better life

Through the poetry

Through being famous authors

Through the power of words

That have meaning.
