a poetry mic

Back by popular demand, it's a poetry mic! Bring a poem. Read a poem. $5 for 5 minutes. Free to watch!

What is a poem? Good question. A poem can be anything written from the heart. It doesn’t have to rhyme. It doesn’t have to follow a certain format. It just has to be real. Is your poem more like a little story? That’s great. Is it more like a personal diary entry? Let’s hear it. Is it a collection of 10 haikus? Bring them on.

This month we're introducing an (optional) theme: Lessons lived, lessons learned. Use it if it sparks inspiration.
