Poetry Live

This is a celebration of original poems written by Tampa Bay poetry writers.  Poetry Nuts is sponsoring this event with a microphone and appreciative audience.  Each reader will have up to 5-minutes to read their poems. Poems can be as short as a 17-syllable haiku or a 14-line sonnet, or longer poems of your own unique creation.

Please send me original poems that you’ve written and would like to read by March 4.

How Poems Become Songs

Experience the close connection between poetry and song through a discussion between masters of both, demonstrating how different readings can change the meaning of a poem and how music changes a poem into a treasured song. This interactive afternoon includes poety readings and plenty of opportunities for audience participation - bring your poems and your instruments!
