| Express Yourself Through Poetry! |
| Hi friends!
Join us online today at 1:30pm EDT for a special Wellness Wednesday discussion group:
Discover Your Inner Poet
April is National Poetry month and as it winds down there is no better time to Discover Your Inner Poet. In today's group, Jane Hillson Aiello returns to teach you additional tricks to build your word bank as we unearth the mystery and magic of poetry. Hear some new-to-you poems or perhaps an old favorite. Jane will guide us through prompts that make sense and make writing fun. Bring paper, a pen and a sense of playfulness. Let’s Discover our Inner Poets together!
See you online, |
