Daisy's Place (A Poem)


Daisy’s Place

By Marie Doerner

Tonight I went to Daisy’s Place
Didn't know what I’d find

Tonight I went to Daisy’s Place
Tired, stressed and wired

I thought it was a talent show
And talent was surely there

I thought it was a talent show
But poems, stories, fear?

A little girl in the city,
Another crashed her boat

Unconditional love,
Followed by a train wreck,

One baby nursing
Another couldn’t hear

Fairness, privilege,
Whose point of view?

Beaten up yet writes again,
The Irish go to war

Together we reach deep inside
To pull the talent out

Together we reached deep inside
To share, create and bond

Come to Daisy’s Place
You’ll find the talent there

Come to Daisy’s Place
Laugh, cry, feel whole

    This a great poem that captures the dynamic and participatory feel of the conference. Daisy's Place is now probably going to be the new name for our "Talent Show and Share"!
