A Gathering of Poets OPEN MIC POETRY AT The Corazon Cinema
THEME: "Poetic Gratitude"
Sunday, November 24th, 2019
A perfect way to kick-off the upcoming Thanksgiving Day weekend. Dine on a cornucopia of poems about subjects such as cold turkey, stuffing, and humble pie.
The Ancient City Poets will host a community poetry open reading on Sunday, November 24 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Corazon Cinema and Cafe (36 Granada Street, Saint Augustine, Florida, across from the Lightner Museum). Readers are invited to share poems about gratitude and bookish blessings. You might want to share a tale from the dysfunctional Thanksgiving Day table.
The theme is meant as a writing prompt and it is your choice if you want to follow the theme or not. Give us two or three of your polished poems or share fresh ink from your notebook. Invite a friend or two or three to cheer you on.
A sign-up sheet will be available at 2:30 and the open mic will start at 3:00 pm. Readers will be called to the podium in the order their names appear on the list. The mic will be turned off at 4:30 to allow the last 30 minutes for a meet and greet and networking.
