Poems from
the Hoot
Lesley
Kimball, recent past PPLP Co-Chairperson, welcomes
another full house to the
Poetry Hoot
on Feb. 6, 2008. Poetry
Hoots are
held the first Wednesday of the month from
September to
June at
Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth.
Dear Readers,
These are selections from the monthly poetry series, "Poems from
the Hoot."
We will be selecting from poems read at the monthly Poetry Hoot
night for publication in this space — and adding a few thoughts of our own.
These articles are taken
from Spotlight Magazine,
published every Thursday in the Portsmouth Herald.
This "Poems from the Hoot" column is published the last Thursday of each month.
To have your work considered for review, the poem must be read at The
Poetry Hoot
and submitted to us ~ Please limit your piece to a maximum of 19 lines/15 words per line.
Keep writing - one and all,
PPLP Hoot Committee
