Portsmouth Poetry Society on National Poetry Day

National Poetry Day with Portsmouth Poetry Society in Southsea Library.

And ole red eyes is back, doo-be-doo-be-doo, putting in a performance that would surely be the definition of cool except, please could someone remind me in future not to write poems with the word 'extinguishing' in them, or, if I do, then don't try to read them in public. Never mind. I got over that fence at the third attempt.
