July 14 Poetry and Open Mic July 14My first time at Open Mic night at A and Z Books
(By Naomi Rickman, North Platte)
There were many people and lots of chairs It was my first time at one of these nice affairs It wasn’t Barnes and Noble or Borders of Omaha No it was North Platte’s own poets’ and writers’ hurrah With some of the nicest music I ever heard Denny with his cool blues guitar, Martin with his writings and art Who was that boy with the big jump start? He writes it and tells it and puts it out fine Then there was Matt whose thoughts inspire Ms. Welch set us back on our seats Nothing I’ve heard much has her beat Oh yes the lady from Hayes Center I’m sure glad I got to meet her She makes you smile for a little while And, then there’s the cowboy poet What he’s talking about, he sure does know it. I’m not a poet and this will show it Just wanted to say I’m glad I came Coming next time will be my aim Our town has to take a pat on the back Compared with the bigger cities, I see no lack I was nicely surprised and felt so complete To have been a part of this retreat. (A big thank you, Sharon)

Inside this pencil
crouch words that have never been written
never been spoken
never been taught
what script can it be
that they won't unroll
in what language
would I recognize it
would I be able to follow it
to make out the real names
of everything
maybe there aren't
many
it could be that there's only one word
and it's all we need
it's here in this pencil
every pencil in the world
is like this
Don't let your words be unspoken even if they are only written on a used napkin or store receipt! Come share them with the gang this Friday nite at A-Z Books. George Lauby from the North Plattte Bulletin will emcee whatever script any of us care to share. Invite any friends or neighbors to join in the fun. It starts at 7 p.m. and lasts until the store empties out. Hope to see you here!
