Creaks, cracks.
Wood expands, contracts.
Noise to comfort.
Noise to scare.
Anyone there?
Cat meow.
Baseball bat at the ready.
Stupid house.
I’ll show it who’s afraid
In the comforting light
of the day.

April 27: Poetry Reading by the Wyomissing Poetry Practicum Group
Join us on Wednesday, April 27 from 6 pm-8 pm at the Wyomissing Public Library, as members of the Wyomissing Poetry Practicum, including Kirsten P. Haas, perform a poetry reading. Members of the group will read three to four original pieces. Also reading will be students of Heather Thomas, former Berks County Poet Laureate, who is currently teaching “Vision to Revision”, a poetry writing class at The GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA.
The Wyomissing Poetry Practicum is led by current Berks County Poet Laureate Nancy Yeager and meets every Thursday from 1:30 pm- 3 pm at the Wyomissing Public Library (9 Reading Boulevard, Wyomissing, PA).

Why I Write Poetry
Poetry is Freedom
Freedom from structure
Freedom from form
Poetry allows for expression of my deepest fears
my darkest thoughts
my silliest whims
and my precious clichés
Poetry lets me stare at the clouds
and
imagine
their
conversation
Poetry lets me
observe the commonplace
and
describe it as
ethereal
Poetry
is
my
private
domain
Written freely
Read with bravado
Consumed by no one
