Poetry Open Mic

This is a free event thanks to the generosity of Jarrod’s Poetry, Tea & Gallery. They only ask that attendees purchase any of their many delectables. As a host, I’m requiring it.

Most short pieces are acceptable, but if you're worried it may not be appropriate for this venue please throw in a comment or send a private message to the organizer. If I RSVP do I have to perform? Nope! You're welcome to join us as an audience member as well. If performing, please leave a note in the comments and/or let the organizer know when you arrive so they can put you on the list of…
