Virtual Poetry Reading!

 

Some folks read poems aloud.

Others don’t dare.

Some people write great stuff,

Others get nowhere.

 

But Friends, here’s your chance!

Come join in the fun.

Read a poem from your favorite poet

Or hey! Read an original one.

 

Everyone is welcome.

In any language you choose.

We guarantee your poems

Will cure those pandemic blues.
