Success!

The interview was a success! The nervousness and excitement was building as we were in the studio. It was totally amazing.We even took a picture with the host Kacky Walton! Overall I'll say that this was a very interesting experience for us! :)

Surprises!

We have we been waiting for this all month long! Today is finally the day of our interview with local radio station WKNO. We will be going live on the air at 3:49 p.m. this afternoon during the segment Checking On The Arts. If you'd like tune in and show us some support please turn your station to 91.1 FM. Thank you very much for continuing to be a support for this community event! :)

The ZaniLa Rhyme

For our June meeting we will be learning how to write in the ZaniLa Rhyme style of poetry. The ZaniLa Rhyme is a repeating form of poetry created Laura Lamarca. It consists of three 4 line stanzas with set poetic length. :)

Much Better This Time Around!

Yesterday's meeting for Indigo Poets was much better than last month. We had a great discussion, participated in various writing prompts, learned the poetic style that is the Alexandrine and overall had a great time and I am looking forward to the our next meeting.

Next meeting is June 2, 2012 @ 2:00 p.m.

More details in the next blog! :)

On The Rise

Our second meeting is only 3 days away and I am looking forward to seeing all who show up. I am excited and nervous at the same time but never short of confidence! May this Saturday bring out the best in all of us! :)

Poetry Prompts

Here are the poetry prompts for our upcoming meeting:

Prompt #1: Has there ever been a time in your life when you struggled with your connection with "God"? Was the battle even worth it? Did you learn anything from it? Was it inspirational?

Prompt #2: Have you ever developed an attraction for a person who was emotionally unavailable? Were they supposedly in a relationship? Did you want them so bad you fantasized about them?

Prompt #3: Have you ever felt like someone or something was missing from your life? When it came back how did it make you feel?

See you guys this Saturday! :)

Alexandrines

For our upcoming meeting I would like us to focus on Alexandrines. Firstly an Alexandrine is a metrical line of poetry written in iambic hexameter which consists of approximately twelve syllables.

Our key focus points for next month's meeting will be as follows:

1. Read over constructive examples of  and discuss Alexandrines

2. Engage in 10 minutes of free writing.

3. Reveal what you were thinking by reading in turns.

4. Practice writing a single Alexandrine (twelve syllables)

5. Engage in poetry writing prompts and construct poems entirely from Alexandrines

6. Read, analyze, discuss, edit.

P.S. Bring some of your own work to read it will be fun and an excellent way to connect! Also bring some poetry by your favorite author that we can analyze and discuss as a group. It is always fun interpreting the meanings of poems. :)

See you there!
