Hi
There are some photos in Galleries from Tuesday's (25/3/08) event, "Orchestration of the Waves" and last night's open mic. Both events were held at the Tudor house.

My thanks to write out loud for a tenner!
I shall frame the cheque.

My first poetry cheque.


I had a fantastic time at this, the sixteenth WOL Wigan.

My thanks to all who read

What a superb range of poetry.

The great thing about the Wigan night is it has a cabaret edge to it that makes the event really fun. Its not like a library or a formal event where I find the atmosphere too serious at times.

Alright, you have to compete with the noise of the bar
but laaaaaaaaaaast night we did!!!!

I think that serious poetry has a place alongside the downright outrageous and that the downright outrageous is rather serious at times.

We need more nights like this one and less stuffy stuff.

super everyone!


Poetry is not serious
if you want to prolong your life
you need to mix it a bit
life is for living
books are for giving
the tudors the one
for me

did you see John Calvert
he experly flirted with the cranes of ancoats
he wrote of the totes and names
of bookcases
AKA IKEA

loved that poem!

and Our Market Trader Hater poet
g r e at stuff from his red velvet book

Mel read a fantastic piece and switched to memory
the matador came forth
and the stomp
woke us
up and
I buggered up
to call her
g e n t l e

gently
we moved through the set
as the junior poets rollercoaster ride hit the last
skinny dip
