Ruminating Poet Press

I just saw a mob of poets loose in Starland!

You can come and watch them (or join them) at the Poetry Co-Op Open Mic at the Water Witch Tiki Bar on Monday: sign up at 6:30, and readings starting at 7:00.

There was a good show last night at Tongue: Open Mouth and Music Show at the Sentient Bean. There were several poets besides myself, notably "Wheelz" (Robert E. Cohen) and Beau Frail. Unfortunately, I had to leave early in Socio's music set, which I regretted missing. Brendan Townend and Duncan Sligh did their usual manic and entertaining job of almost keeping things on course. Maybe I'll see you all there March 4 now that the cancellation curse is lifted.

Poetry Co-Op Open Mic at the Water Witch Tiki Bar was great last night. Thirteen poets read, including a couple for their first time at an open mic.

Poets in alphabetical order: Amy, Anthony, Beau, Carri, Claribel, Darriea, Eli, Kristin, Lila, Lucy, Marc, Naomi and Trinity.

We played a poetry game called "Did You Ever" - those three words are the prompt and the first words. Everyone got 3x5 cards and a pen, added their own short lines, and I read all the poems at the end - a community memory and reflection.

Thanks to Darriea for taking the picture again.

Big Night at the Poetry Co-Op Open Mic last night at the Water Witch Tiki Bar. A lot of new folks both reading and in the audience. Sixteen people read, which is a record as long as I've been coming.
Poets in alphabetical order: Alx, Anthony, Ari, Assata, Carri, Claire, Darriea, Eli, Jae, Keshawn, LaLa, Mamie, Trinity, Sam, and Victoria.
Thanks to Darriea for taking the picture again.

Enjoying the warm weather, wearing tropical shirts again, but hedging my bets with warm layers under them.
I'm looking forward to Monday night's Poetry Co-Op Open Mic at Water Witch Tiki Bar. Join us there for poetry, good company, and maybe a drink or two.
