Hello Prose.rs

It's quite nice in here isn't it?

OK, let us introduce ourselves a bit...

We are The Chocolate Poetry Club an event platform for the writer, the reader and the super talented creature. Our event hails from South London, UK and everyone is invited. Everyone.

Although, if London seems a little far away from you then perhaps you would like to know we are moving the event around this year. (#poetsontour) We have keen ambitions for 'pop-up' poetry, spoken word, storytelling, art and culture nights to spring to life in the US (NC, NYC, SEATTLE and LA) before the end of the year!

If you think you know someone that can help us with this journey? Or perhaps you might like to take part and perform yourself?? Then we would love to hear from you, let's create something inspiring!! :)

You can find us on Facebook and Twitter via @ChocPoetryClub or you can drop us an email - ChocPoetryClub@gmail.com

In the mean time keep writing, keep supporting each other and most of all, enjoy the gifts of words right here on Prose.

Your friends in London,

The Chocolate Poetry Club. X

Oh mother,

You try to dissuade me

Of every decision I make.

Wouldn't it be great,

If at least once,

You care more about supporting me,

Than what the other people might think?

People ask me why I’m so quiet;

Sometimes it’s seen as being defiant.

I simply seek peace in the silence.

It is the only way I can achieve balance.

I don’t waste my breath on irrelevance.

My words aren't always necessary

When you can see them in my expression.

I can hear better when I don’t speak.

It allows me to process, allows me to think

And opens me up to others with thoughts unique.
