Tyler, a young poet/musician/philosopher from Artisan, hosted a poetry reading last night at a coffee shop and read some of his own work. Mixture of ages but mostly 20's & 30's. No kids. I haven't been to a poetry reading in a long time. Nice job, you guys!
I got thinking about kids. It would be interesting to give kids a small close venue like that to read original poems, post titled artwork, perform original music. Add fun drinks, snacks, comfy chairs, card tables and candles. Voila! '60's and 70's revisited!
Why should grown-ups have all the fun- "deep" fun?

Interesting thoughts Margie.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend in college who hosted a Sunday night Pig Out at her boomer mega-church. They didn't eat, they didn't play games. All they did was "Pig out" on God's word. It was a deep Bible study.
Later on, she got fired...go figure.
That's a real bummer.
ReplyDeleteWe are planning an art auction, where the kids make art in SS and then we mat it, label it, and frame it for silent auction. We want to give it a gallery sort of feel with soft music, good lighting, and coffee/snacks. I think that adding a poetry component would be fantastic! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to have an art show and silent auction! Very cool! Tell us how it goes?
