W4W Poets

Write a poem about things you’ve lost, things you’ve found

or share a favorite love poem or do both!

Write a New Year’s Resolution poem using these three key words in your poem: Be, Do, Have

Example:

I will be the light of peace and happiness

in everything I do

I have the wisdom of the standing oak

through many storms and the courage

of its new leaves

Write an I Am poem.
Title will be I Am.

Examples
I am the voice whispering in your ear and the fear screaming in your head.
I am the lullaby you sing and the missing teen you seek.
I am the company you keep and the lies you chant.

Use a color swatch from a paint store. Give the color life, speak to it or speak as if you were that color. Get creative and share with us at our next open mic poetry event, Oct 11th at 7pm. If you can’t come, post it on our blog.

In Aromas Cafe we sit

as close as books on a shelf

exchanging stories, fall in love

with what is spoken freely
