The Gold Coasts Best-Loved Poets
First to mind topping the list
Is a poet that can’t be missed?
He is the one that we call know
The happy beaming Mr. Banjo
One that quickly comes to mind
Is a Poet of another kind
His Joke’s can make you sob
He is our lovely Aussie Bob
A beautiful poet with a great big heart
Is a lady I’ve known from the very start
Manya’s words can make you cry
Speaks the truth never a lie
He’s softly spoken at times hard to hear
But his words have meaning deep and clear
He’s not one to ever go on and on
He was there one day one and his name is John
From the southern land of blood diamonds
Telling odd tales of such strange findings
He’s a talented lad the original artful dodger
With his fart hat comes me ol’mate Rodger
A lady that is full of grace and poise
Who’s never been guilty of making a noise
Never been accused of scribing a rudie
You’ll love our toastmaster Judi
She’s strutted the boards for many a year
Started in England and continued over here
She got and OBE card and she’s livin the dream
Our leading lady bushwalker and poet our Jean
A poet that perfectly delivers the final twist
Is a lady without a delicate wrist
She’s not afraid to pen a naughty line
Joyce is the Queen of the Aussie strine
A man from the land of many poetry masters
Who has penned some poems elevating him to the rafters?
Descriptive words with a heartfelt vibe
David is a very talented scribe
Tom is the original comedic storyteller
A real down to earth lovely fella
He’s top bloke with a sense of humour
Take it from me don’t believe the rumour
If you like a poem that’s to the point
That doesn’t muck around all over the joint
If strong emotions are what your after
No one tops our precious talented Marta
5th generation of Scottish maroon
with political satire he can bust your balloon
he loves Jack and he built him a bar
words have really taken Eoin afar
If you like a man with a beaming smile
the light of Christ illuminates his dial
he’s an avid writer and he’s really well red
a lawyer you can trust is our man Ted
Her words are kind and its love she loves best
With a pretty smile, not too bad in a dress
She loves her man and he reckons there’s no one sweeter
Lyn can make us laugh and cry supported by her Peter
From the land of excess over there to the east
Came a creative writer with a hidden beast
Alan knows how to fill up a whole page
But then in just two lines and he can vent his rage
Nearly always dressed in white
her words are nice and she loves to write
Always happy with a smiling face
We like to have Jeanette around the place
A educated and widely travelled lady
Who’s words are preselected and never ever shady
From London to New York she has sampled every dish
Our very proper and polite our wordsmith Trish
An English teacher you’d think she could be on time
We let her in because her words all rhyme
Every scale of emotion she can put in poem
Kathy loves the bush and birds in her home
From the southern state that God calls home
To our backyard he decided to roam
He loves his wife and family he ain’t all poshy
He bangs a good yarn does our mate Coshie
He’s always polite and neatly well dressed
He decided to pick up a pen and put his brain to the test
of literary mistakes it seems he is baron
a well crafted scribe is the talented Aaron
There’s another bloke that hails from the south
full of emotions he’s not afraid to mouth
he’s had a rough trot and been dealt a low blow
but David’s a survivor and he gettin on with the show
There’s one poet that has proudly told us her age
Discrimination and fear has caused her to rage
In our quiet little group she fits in like the norm
Walk softly but carry a big stick is our friend Dawn
A lady amongst us has seen many sides of life
A daughter a Mum a Grandma and a loving wife
She is kind and caring and helps the blind
With music and love Yvonne’s warm light does shine
She has lived in the city and she’s lived in the bush
She once heard a toad talking she will admit with a push
She loves her son her daughter her grandson and her terrier
Elisabeth writes from the heart the more the merrier.
