REVIEW: Door-to-Door Poetry ★★★★ at ARC Stockton

An Ode To A Door-To-Door Poet

Door-to-Door Poetry ★★★★

ARC Stockton

Wednesday 11^th April 2018

Young Rowan McCabe told of his poems and more

Of his mission to take bespoke rhymes door-to-door

As Stockton Arc's audience listened enthralled

He told of his aim to take poetry to all-

From Byker's stark facias to the posh Darras Hall

Not for the faint-hearted this journey would be

With attention turned to him from the BBC

And folk of all backgrounds and different desires

Who didn't want their business going out on the wires

To tailor a poem to whomever opened the door

Takes a quick thinking fellow with empathy, for sure

This evening was well thought-out and very entertaining

Not for one single moment was the momentum here waning.

The lighting revealed to us each answered-to doorbell

And Rowan's own acting skills were on show as well

No fault could we find in this poetry yarn-telling

We hope Rowan ends up with all tickets selling!
