There will be yard & porch concerts, local food, historic church tours, good company, interactive art for all ages, bike & street parking available, FREE & open to public.

We are going to miss it because this morning is out to the fairgrounds for a bee fest, then the rest of the day in Kirtland for the 4th annual Blue Sky Folk Festival. Much to do in Cleveland these days.

Here’s my daily poem #229 . . . started writing and posting a poem a day October 1, 2013, and the process seems to be slowing considerable, could be in the later stages. Been an interesting process. Gotten a lot of so-so poems, but also some truly special ones that would have been unwritten if not for forcing a daily attempt.

The Owl Poem

Who’s walkin’ who?
Who’s talkin’ true?

Who’s doin’ what?
Who’s checkin’ fact?

What is up with that?
Who’s in charge of act?

Where we go from here?
Why we live in so much fear?

When we gonna quit?
What we gonna do about it?

Why the words roll round the page?
When we gonna act our age?
