Join us to listen to some poetry—or share some writing of your own—at Poetry in the Boro as we return to Cedar Glade Brews, at a special time, 1:00 to 3:00 PM. CGB is located at 906 Ridgely Road, just off Broad St. near downtown Murfreesboro. They’re opening early for us, so plan to buy a craft beer or soft drink and enjoy some complimentary snacks! And while we hope you can be with us the entire time, if you need to sneak in late, no worries.
For our feature this month, we’re asking everyone to bring a favorite poem by another author. Whether it’s classic or contemporary, if it speaks to you, come and share it with us. If you don’t personally want to read it, just bring the poem (printed, or a link on your phone ready to share), and someone else will read it for you. (Even if you share a poem by someone else, you can still have a turn at the open mic–see below).
ABOUT THE OPEN MIC
Open mic readers can share poetry or spoken word: 2 poems or four minutes, whichever comes first. Reading a favorite poem by another writer is fine, too.
We ask that readers be prepared to keep their pieces “PG-13” depending on our venue and audience, which sometimes includes younger people.
Open mic sign-up will be on site when you arrive.
CHALLENGE WORDS
Here are our challenge words, chosen by last month’s audience. If you like, write a new piece to share that includes one, some, or ALL of these words:
apple | crescendo | enrapture | slime | cashews | tart | cultivate | salt | penultimate | scintillate
