Here’s what one participant said about his experience:
“My English teacher said be quiet, sit up straight, and write poetry the proper way. I failed…and had to stand in front of the class to be instructed on the “right way.” I went to a Poetry Playshop and recovered – there was no right or wrong. I wrote a poem in my own way and shared it in my own voice. Bravo!” Tom Filcich ~ Recovering English Student, Creative Spirit & Poetry Lover
“Merely to know the Flawless Moon
dwells pure in the human heart
is to find the darkness of the night
vanished under clearing skies.”
