A PANTOUM TO CHASE AWAY GLOOM

A PANTOUM TO CHASE AWAY GLOOM

Austin is as open as its mics
anthologies at midnight bloom
music and rhyme will fill your nights
good and bad there’s always room

Anthologies at midnight bloom
from budding poets far and near
good and bad there’s always room
and sometime others come to hear

From budding poets far and near
there is support for kith and kin
and sometimes others come to hear
and warmly they are welcomed in

So if you should happen on this town
music and rhyme will fill your nights
you’ll give up what’s got you down
Austin is as open as its mics
