Netwest Mountain Poets & Writers

Netwest Mountain Writers and Poets is a non-profit organization which helps facilitate the efforts of writers living in Western NC, North GA, East TN, and Western SC to publish their work. Their website is a true haven for writers. It features writers work along with dozens of writing links, class opportunities, and information on how to join the Netwest Network. If you have an interest in writing I highly recommend you visit their site. And please leave them a comment-they love comments!

One of the groups monthly meetings is- Coffee With The Poets. It is held the 4th Wednesday of each month at the Phillips & Lloyd Bookstore in Hayesville, NC. For the second time Chitter was asked to come and read some of her poems today.

         They let her drink tea from a fancy cup.

                 She read 3 of her poems.

They presented her with a pretty book to write in.

Here Chitter is with Glenda Beall, a.k.a WriterLady, who is the Program Coordinator of Netwest Mountain Writers Network, and on the right is Estelle Darrow Rice who was the featured poet of today's meeting.

   Here is one of Chitter's poems she read today:

                      What Am I Not

                       What am I not

       I ask myself Like the book Upon the shelf

                           Who am I

                       A thought in time

              Or just someone To make a rhyme

                Or a dime that's Lost its shine

              Like a line that curves And bends

            Or someone to send A message

      Invite your friends And Uncles Even your pets

         To listen to my story And all it's glory

                      (Chitter 2008)

Hope you enjoyed Chitter's poem and please stop in and see Netwest Mountain Writers & Poets I know you'll be glad you did-and tell them Chitter sent you!
