1. Quiet restaurant Often too loud to converse. But it is closed now.

2. Poets huddle close Float the dark in a light-boat Eating others' words.

3. Full of happiness, Full of shared concerns Feeling poetic.

4. Buoyed by the beauty, Beauty shared with thoughtful words In our glowing craft.

5. Yet not satisfied Wanting more; to write, to read. Sail on, inspired.
