Open Mic Poetry, a poetic return,
\nCalling all wordsmiths, in lyrical yearn.
\nFrom seasoned poets to those just begun,
\nOur Poetry Night, a celebration, a poetic sun.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a vibrant space, all poets unite,
\nNo ‘headliners’ here, sharing our poetic light.
\nOpen mic beckons, a welcoming stage,
\nStep up, share your thoughts, feel the poetic sage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A cozy atmosphere, where words softly sway,
\nPoetry lovers listen, in the magic they stay.
\nAspiring poets, enthusiasts, and those seasoned well,
\nAll are invited to this lyrical spell.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Express emotions through verse, feel the thrill,
\nOpen mic welcomes, every voice, every skill.
\nNo judgment, just appreciation pure,
\nFor the art of poetry, an experience to assure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those who prefer to listen, in the poetic stream,
\nBe an audience member, let emotions gleam.
\nDiverse voices weave emotions profound,
\nConnect with each verse, in unity found.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Join this community, a passionate sea,
\nDiscover new voices, perspectives that be.
\nAn inclusive haven where creativity bounds,
\nIn the world of rhythm, rhyme, and poetic sounds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An evening of enchantment, words as brushstrokes,
\nPainting a canvas, where every word evokes.
\nSee you there, ready to explore,
\nThe world of rhythm, rhyme, and revelation’s door.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Entry is free, come one, come all,
\nAnswer the poetic beckon, heed the call<\/div>\n
