SLAP-HAPPY / John Berbrich: the gazebo

Posted by BoneWorld Publishing on June 21, 2009 at 8:20 PM

Isn't that a great word, Gazebo?  It sure is, & that's where the next SLAP meeting will be held, this Tuesday @ 6:30, June 23rd, 2009, at the Gazebo in Ives Park in Potsdam.  If you don't know where the Park is, look past the parking lot directly across from the Roxy Theater & keep walking.  And bring your assignment, which is to write a soliloquy, as though you were a character in a play, like Hamlet or Lear.  But write your soliloquy in a poetic style, like sweet Willy the Shakes.  The Gazebo is covered so who cares if it rains?


Oh, & the SLAP poetry newsletter for June is available.  You can pick up a free copy at selected sites in Canton like the Partridge Cafe & the Blackbird Cafe....in Potsdam at the Fields (if it's still open), Creative Spirit Art Center, & the St. Lawrence County Arts Council....& in Norwood at selected locations (look around).  As usual, I am always looking for new poems, so if you have some you'd like to share in a future newsletter, send them to me at [email protected]  Always like to hear from readers too, just to say hi.


I've gotta go now & write my soliloquy, really I don't have a clue.  See you all Tuesday.  Everyone is invited.

I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time! :)

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it

Friends!

My market communications agency represents a writer who has retained me to assist her in advertising her new book of poetry, her second publication. Do you offer advertising in your journal? If so, please provide me a media kit, including current rates and 2010 rates. A pdf would be fine, or you may mail hard copy to:
