Samuel Oldknow poetry special

spoken word Christmas cheer

season greetings to all

uncertain drinkers showed fear

ordered pints dived downstairs

before poets could explain

no forceful approach intended

to take sacred vow

cut wrists give blood

sacrifice mortal human spirit

experience open mic session

give poetry a chance!

Landlord had to whisper

as they fled below

Could you take note

double locked back door

bolted shut no exit

upstairs only way out

give in you never

know expressive poetic verse

could add rhyme into

your Samuel Oldknow night

not such a demand

come up and enjoy

festive fuel for thought!
