Gran Slam poetry workshop for seniors Margaret Sparks

Margaret Sparks

Age 76

Broadbeach, QLD

You name it, she has done it. Margaret’s checklist includes a motherly hat-trick, inspiring artists with her presence, and charting the four corners of this round world. Self-described as a blend of sophistication, hippie and everything in-between, Margaret is a passionate environmentalist; actually passionate, full stop.

Continuing to blaze through life, she’s not shy of a challenge and always pushes herself to try new things, including Gran Slam. Oh and in her spare time, she has also self-published a collection of her memoirs, just in case she forgets something – but we suspect not!

By Margaret Sparks

If I died tomorrow I would like to dress in my colourful caftan

I would wear lots of make up and bright red lipstick

And I would request all relatives and friends to 

Kiss me on my red lips AND LINGER.    

LINGER.
