Angels
are this colour when viewed through the Absinthe glass. They are of course, those who buy drinks for impoverished poets who on their verbal streak,do tend to get thirsty.
Wings are optional. Angels should not be confused with Cherubs, who are nasty little creatures who keep humans out of the Eden project (or is it the garden of Eden?).

Hakkımda:
I am a poetry club that takes place on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 8pm. I takes place in a room above the THREE KINGS publick house, in Clerkenwell Close, Clerkenwell, LONDON EC1. Farringdon is the nearest underground station to me.
I was born in February 2006, of a conversation between two poets after they had too much to drink on a cold winter night in January. . . typical eh ? It was night that Banksy erected his statue of a corrupted "Justice" on Clerkenwell green. It didn't last long before the authorities removed it, but our club is still going strong years later.
Oh, by the way,the poets were identified as BURGESS THE RHYMER, once a native of Clerkenwell and LINE THOMSEN, once a native of Aarhus and they now co-host a poetry club free of failed comedians and free to get in. They both wanted to create a cosy, candlelit space where writers of reflective, thoughtful poetry didn't have to compete against comedians, rockers and rappers who have many existing clubs to go to in London. At the same time, they were music lovers and thought one or two acoustic acts that would send us all home with music in our soul after the poetry would be a good way to round off the night; and so it is.
My name has something to do with the hosts both liking the song Ruby Tuesday and this website is operated by both of them and sometimes, as you will see, a talking cat.
(oh come on, is the religion you were born to any less bizarre?). With Line's life taking her back home to Denmark, CERI MAY a favourite of the club, has been sharing many of the MCing duties at Y Tuesday with Burgess the Rhymer of late. Y Tuesday was also chosen to provided an "away team" of poets to visit the lierature festival in Aarhus, Denmark, where we have a sister club and after 3 years of poetic malarky, is looking for further projects of this nature.
Kimle tanışmak isterim: You of course. YES YOU, on the first Tuesday of the month at 8pm, at the 3 Kings pub, Clerkenwell close,London EC1.
You don't mind if I have a few Poets with me here,do you ?
Thought not.They are very entertaining.
Farringdon is the nearest underground station, you can even get trains to Brighton from there if you fancy a midnight paddle or Gatwick for a midnight flight.
Some of our regular poets have examples of their work posted on this blog, so scroll down and have a read.
If you live far away, you can still share your work with us by placing your image below. You can also enter our World Wide poem of the month competition, by typing a poem in our comments box. Be seeing you . . . . . . . . . . . .
Oh,by the way. since Decemeber 2008 when our flag counter went up, people from the following countires have visited this site...
Thankyou for the request. As a child, I was bitten by a poet; the poetry entered my bloodstream and remains there to this day (such lovely poison)...always glad to meet fellow victims! Best wishes, Polly Kinkajou.
