Poetry Cafe

Poetry Cafe

We share a love of poetry and we want everyone to have their turn. We don’t judge; we don’t criticize; we simply enjoy sharing words . The evening starts at 7pm. Those who want to read to others are given a number at the door. All numbers go into the “hat” and are drawn out at random. If it is your number, it is your turn.

Come along and share your words with us.

 Poetry Cafe

Come along for an evening of poetry and chat. Read your own work, share your favourite poem by your favourite poet or simply come and listen.

All cultures have their own poets and poetry. Poetry is a way of communicating ideas, images and feelings.  Through poetry we can explore beauty, express a truth or describe an event. Poems use language to challenge, delight and entertain. Poetry can also create a sense of community.

Tea, coffee (and the occasional snack) provided or bring your own bottle and/or nibbles.
