Dear Poetry Enthusiasts,
We are thrilled to invite you to an inspiring evening of verse, rhythm, and community at our upcoming open mic poetry reading, themed Poetry Pleas. So, hear our plea: please join us to share your inner prayers, your lamentations, your social petitions, or your deep felt invocations.
POETRY PLEAS
Let us gather to speak,
for ears to listen, for eyes to seek
those pleas inked in our minds –
each word a pulse, each line
a heartbeat threading through the air
inviting, begging, pleading everywhere.
