Dear Poetry Fans:

It’s Mardi Gras time! If you plan to attend the Open Circle Poetry Group meeting, you’ve picked a good month to do it. We’ll have beads and refreshments, and we’ll be in a playful mood. The meeting will be Tuesday evening, January 26, at 7:00. (Normally we meet on Monday, but it’s Tuesday this time!)

Some of you may have poems you composed about the holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year – so bring those if you have them. The poetry challenge for this meeting is “Mask” – whatever that means to you. If you have time, see what you can create with that topic. After we hear your poem(s), let’s think about what form you used and how you crafted the final product. And, as always, you don’t have to write/read a poem at all. We love our poetry listeners!
