Take Five Short Poetry Workshop-Tue, 9/23, 7pm SLT - This week at the Short Poetry Workshop we’re doing Take Five. Everyone is given 5 words to use in a poem. Use any poetry form including free verse. The group will then chose 5 more words to use in the next poem. It’s great fun to see how everyone writes different styles using the same 5 words plus we’ll throw in a few twists to make it even more fun.
