Learn to write different forms of poetry in this relaxing low-stakes creative writing workshop celebrating National Poetry MonthWhat to Expect:We will begin with a discussion with what poetry is to you. Then you'll be led through a series of fun writing activities to get your creative juices flowing. Then you'll be guided through the process of penning different types of poems. We take breaks to sip and share, but sharing what you write is always optional. At the close of the workshop, you'll contribute to a collaborative poem that will be sent to you after the event. You'll start with nothing and leave with at least two completed poems and the tools to create more. You can enjoy a glass of red or white or bring a bottle of your favorite to share. Non-alcoholic beverage will be available. The best part: You'll walk away with inspiration and a few new friends after our time together.
