October Poetry Workshop!

PoetryBot · 2011-10-05T17:46:15Z

That's right, folks! This month, we'll be hosting another Poetry Workshop courtesy of Poetry Crew! If you're not familiar with Poetry Workshops yet, it's a great opportunity to come and learn about poetry and how it's constructed; we'll dissect a poem and discuss different parts, and if you wish, rewrite the piece in your own distinct style. It's a great chance to learn about poetic elements and the different nuances that make awesome poems so awesome. So be sure to sign up below! I've given you a time table below that lists the times that will be in your area, and this time we're focusing on the Eastern Hemisphere! The Workshop Will Take Place on Saturday, October 22nd , so mark your calendars!

I saw 9.30am and though "I could be awake for that!" and then realised that on a Saturday I'd already be at work by that time. Bah.

please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

Lo siento, MeanMrMustard. Private requests for spots 7 and 8 came in, which wraps everything up for this round. I'll keep you posted if someone drops out or something comes up!

The Toronto mentioned is in Canada! Atlanta is just a city in the southern US. So it is your Toronto, I suppose!

Just to add on to Lumi's post, you just have to log on at 4:30 am if you're in Toronto, or any city in EST [Eastern Standard Time].
