Splendid to see that the Poetry Appreciation Society is still going strong after all this time. Itā€™s always been a good place to see what others are able to come up with - be it serious or lighthearted.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Much appreciated.

Yes, Iā€™d even say itā€™s been going stronger than ever recently.

In the nature of the event I really never know how many people are going to attend or how many people will actually contribute with poems, and the event have had itā€™s ups and down throughout the time I have run it, but recently there have consistently been a quite reasonable amount of people both attending to the meetings and contributing to them, which I am really happy about.

Just checked the date of my first post in this thread and realized it has been just about 4 years since I started to host the first meetings, honestly didnā€™t think it had been that long, but I feel grateful to have managed to create an option and opportunity for people to have their characters have a cultural experience and express them self creatively that has turned into something people really appreciate and enjoy taking part of.

In my opinion though we could still use more options for IC cultural RP experiences and for having peopleā€™s characters express them self creatively.

Thank you :slight_smile:

And thanks for attending, this one was indeed a great meeting, a lot of really nice contributions.

In the nature of these meetings, not being curated at all, and not really ever for sure knowing how many people will actually attend, itā€™s always hard to predict how they are going to turn out, but recently there have been a nice amount of people attending and contributing, which I am really grateful for, a great feeling to have managed to create something people really appreciate and enjoy participating in.

Not specifically as a reply to you, since you would know this already, but just as a general update to the thread:

Bertel wrote yet another poem, which he opened up the meeting reciting, really a children poem, but non the less a quite nice one, to be exact a lullaby poem for Gnome children:

Lullaby for Little Gnomes

Bedtime now for little Gnomes
Shutting lights in little homes
Tug so snugly under sheets
Welcome dreams of cunning deeds

Sow the seeds of morning sun
Night has come and day is done
With closed eyes theyā€™ll now receive
Relieving comfort of sweet sleep

When they wake up vitalized
Waving darkness a goodbye
Rising with a tumbling sigh
They shall earn the answer why

Everyone must rest assure
That their dreams are sweet and pure
So by daylight they may learn
What they own and how to earn

Secrets of the night time riddle
Mystery of flute and fiddle
Curtains now all cast aside
Shining sun will stand them by

Do the tasks that day requires
Tired now again retire
Cuddle sleepy down in bed
Once again a day ahead

Also a general thanks to everyone who attended the meeting and a very special big thank to those who contributed with poems and songs as well, you all contributed to make a really great meeting, thank you. :smiley:

Canā€™t update unless another character post first, so have to make this post on an alt.

Posting from an alt, since you canā€™t post twice in a row with the new forum system.

I made a new thread for this, since I canā€™t update the OP in this one anymore.

The new thread is to found here: [A-RP-Event] Stormwind Poetry Appreciation Society šŸ“œ (#100)

Next meeting will be Friday the 12th of July at 8Pm (server time) at the upper part of Stormwind Park at the big tree surrounded by benches and the small well with the fountain shaped as a lion head, near Mage District

Had to make yet another new thread, since I didnā€™t keep proper track on time and to my dismay discovered that the other new thread had been closed due to the 1 month rule.

Will keep more track of time in the future.

The reason why I originally decided to make a new thread was that the OP in this original thread had fallen to the 1 month rule long ago and cant be updated.

Hereā€™s the link to the new new thread: [A-RP Event] Stormwind Poetry Appreciation Society (#109) šŸ“œ

And hereā€™s the notification of the next meeting, the 100th one even! :birthday::

Next meeting will be Friday the 13th of September at 8Pm (server time) at the upper part of Stormwind Park at the big tree surrounded by benches and the small well with the fountain shaped as a lion head, near Mage District

And since this will be the 100th meeting ever there will be free ice cream for everyone attending, kindly provided by Deevy, an extended concluding firework display, as well as Bertel will be reciting a spanking new original Bertel poem, which might even be among the absolute best that he ever wrote so far.
