Hi folks : Well , Halloween and my birthday have now come and gone so I guess It's ha-ha day time ( For those of you who didn't get it, I'll explain. It's the holiday season and I'm known as "Laughing" Larry Berger so I call it the "ha-ha days season." Get it now? LOL.) Here's what's up this week:

Rochester Poets is participating in the Art at the Armory show at the Main Street Armory

We're going to do 2 readings on each day (2-2:45 pm and 4-5 pm on Sat, 10-10:45; Noon-
12:45 pm on Sunday). So we invite you to join us in the readings on Saturday and/or
Sunday. ( BTW, this event WAS presented to at least 2 other Literary groups in the
Rochester area and only Rochester Poets followed up and got involved!
That's why Rochester Poets is running this event by themselves. It is NOT because we at
any time wished to exclude anyone! How do I know? WHO DID YOU THINK IT WAS WHO
GOT ROCHESTER POETS HOOKED UP WITH THE ART AT THE ARMORY AND GAVE

What the heck?
By "Laughing" Larry Berger
Who would have thunk it?
I actually did make it to 45!
It's been kinda fun though!
I've lived life on my own terms
and survived! I've made myself Immortal
but fixing my word in print for all time.
Whoops! That may have sounded a little snarky there.
still would we remmeber Confucius, Aristotle or Plato if they had not written down their thoughts?
Okay, okay maybe I'm still aiming a little high!
We'd probably both feel better if I stuck with Jack Michelin. but you get the point.
Still
fish got to swim
birds got to fly and poets have to write poetry don't they?
I mean the phrase IS "publish or perish." right?
Pretty neat huh? I think I wrote this particular poem this week I Goggled myself
and I found 10 PAGES! DON'T BELIEVE ME? HERE'S THE LINK:
