Poetry Parlour

A few words. A warm room.

Poetry Parlour is a little stage with parted curtains, glowing marquee bulbs and front steps, with an open book, a writing pen and a rounded teapot.

The little story

Poetry Parlour

Poetry Parlour is a warm little room with a window seat, a teapot on the table and an open book waiting nearby. Everything is arranged for reading slowly, which is the only pace a poem really allows.

Sonnet is the quiet host. Sonnet has left one chair facing the window for the poem you have not written yet. A pen rests on the table with no deadline attached, and the teapot keeps the room smelling of something warm.

It suits a page for poets, readers and anyone who wants a calm, personal corner on the internet. Pour a cup, sit down and let the first line arrive when it is ready.
