]]> Open Mic Poetry, a poetic return,
Calling all wordsmiths, in lyrical yearn.
From seasoned poets to those just begun,
Our Poetry Night, a celebration, a poetic sun.
In a vibrant space, all poets unite,
No ‘headliners’ here, sharing our poetic light.
Open mic beckons, a welcoming stage,
Step up, share your thoughts, feel the poetic sage.
A cozy atmosphere, where words softly sway,
Poetry lovers listen, in the magic they stay.
Aspiring poets, enthusiasts, and those seasoned well,
All are invited to this lyrical spell.
Express emotions through verse, feel the thrill,
Open mic welcomes, every voice, every skill.
No judgment, just appreciation pure,
For the art of poetry, an experience to assure.
For those who prefer to listen, in the poetic stream,
Be an audience member, let emotions gleam.
Diverse voices weave emotions profound,
Connect with each verse, in unity found.
Join this community, a passionate sea,
Discover new voices, perspectives that be.
An inclusive haven where creativity bounds,
In the world of rhythm, rhyme, and poetic sounds.
An evening of enchantment, words as brushstrokes,
Painting a canvas, where every word evokes.
See you there, ready to explore,
The world of rhythm, rhyme, and revelation’s door.
Entry is free, come one, come all,
Answer the poetic beckon, heed the call
Register to perform at 7:30pm with host Ian Whiteley
