Living Poetry

Welcome to Living Poetry's Writing Workshop!
In these 2 hours, we will be providing prompts and time to write a 1st draft poem based on the prompt... or whatever the prompt sparks in your imagination. Then we will leave some time to share your first draft with the group (voluntary). That's it: prompt - writing - sharing. We will get through about 6-8 prompts in 2 hours.

This germination workshop is only meant to give you 6-8 raw, 1st draft poems that you can then take away, revise, and put in final beautiful words.

NOTE: This meeting will be held on Zoom and will be posted here in the Comments section about 10 minutes prior to the workshop. Please ensure you receive Meetup Notifications. If you do not receive meetup notifications, then please send me your email address via a private message. I will then email you the Zoom link to that email address.

The Heron Clan Zoom invites those published in the Heron Clan, those who have submitted but haven't yet heard their fate and all friends who have ever heard of the Heron Clan. It's first come first served and we read 1,2 or 3 poems per set.

To get this week's Zoom link email Katherinejamesbooks@gmail.com.

Celebrate National Poetry Month at the Drakeford Library Complex featuring a few poets reading and a Poets Open Mic! To start the evening a few local poets (Liza Wolff-Francis, Donovan Livingston, Morrow Dowdle) will read from their works. Then we will kick off our Poets Open Mic! There will be 20 spaces available for the Open Mic, signups start 30 minutes prior to the event. Poets may read one poem with a five-minute maximum time limit. Come out and feast on an evening of poetry with popcorn and pie!

Having a lazy breakfast at Panera, enjoying a break before or after the errands while chatting and reading poetry is my kind of Saturday morning. When it's warm we will sit outside. I will be there from 10 AM to roughly 12:00 PM, noon. Please join me - even if you are coming later! - for a poetic breakfast!
