Creative Geelong Arts Festival



At my poetry books stall, and just up from me, the Piano Girl played.










“Creative Occupation” was at Creative Geelong, MAY’D Arts Festival
I looked for the Promoter, the Poet, the Printer, and the Publisher… I followed the red arrows, and I was there … “We so look forward to making poetry with you”.

Ingrid Wrote a Poem for Me

The poet (Ingrid)
“Hello Ivor”
Wow, she knows my name
“Stand on the special black spot
and I’ll type a poem for you”
.

I stand on the special black spots
Then from her old yellow typewriter
Words magically curled
Off the antique roller
And when she finished
She handed me the paper tape
“A poem for you”

My hand-typed poem by Ingrid
“Hi dear, how do you know me
and what is your name”
“I’m Ingrid, and I read your poems
on the Creative Geelong Instagram site
and I love your writings”

The printing process
“Thank you for your kindness, Ingrid,
and you have made my amazing day
here at the Festival even betterer!”

The published poems suspended above the Festival crowd
