Chulla 4,946 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 As mentioned earlier, Tuesday night at the Bulwell 'spoons was poetry night as part of the annual Bulwell Festival. What a very good occasion it was - attendance was 45, which pleased Wetherspoons. About 15 of us recited and only one was not rhyming verse - I gave them five of mine. This was a far more enjoyable experience than the one I attended earlier in the year by the Nottingham Poetry Society. The lady who organised the event, Joy, can be seen addressing the audience in the photo below. A comical gel, her 'party piece' was her singing Greensleeves. The tune was the same but the words were all about Bulwell, delivered in a Bulwell/Nottingham dialect, full of causies, mardies, black over Bill's mothers, etc, etc. A young lady, who was not a poet, told us that she took established poems and set them to music. For her example she sang the words of a Yeats poem, to her own musical composition. The two photos (also on Facebook) were taken by Wendy Soo Mawston. Chulla giving it some poetic welly, not evangelizing. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 From your pictures it shows what a good night you all had Chulla. Were your poems ones that we have read on NS, or new ones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 All the poems were ones that are posted on NS. They were: Bulwell La belle elegant The interrupted romance A matter of the heart Getting old I have four more to post on NS and that will be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 #860 Is that going to be your entire oeuvre then, Chulla? Surely, you've not run out of things to say? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thank you, Jill - the infusion is straight-forward and lasts around a hour and a half. As to your previous question - do I look like a liberty bodice person? Decorum is my middle name! Mind you, it does get a bit nippy in Tibet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, Mike, according to 'spoon's price list, rump steak is £10.90. If that's what being religious does, I had better see the light. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Margie. According to the 'spoons menu, it was Aberdeen Angus. The alternative was sirloin, for the same price. £3.99 is cheaper than Skeggy fish and chips. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
