The Stroll of Poets 2026/27 Haven Reading Series Returns!

Dear Poetry Enthusiasts,

We are thrilled to invite you to an inspiring evening of verse, rhythm, and community at our upcoming open mic poetry reading, themed Poetry Pleas. So, hear our plea: please join us to share your inner prayers, your lamentations, your social petitions, or your deep felt invocations.

POETRY PLEAS
Let us gather to speak,
for ears to listen, for eyes to seek
those pleas inked in our minds –
each word a pulse, each line
a heartbeat threading through the air
inviting, begging, pleading everywhere.

How to Participate:
• Bring an original poem or a favorite piece to share (2-minute limit per reader).
• All styles and experience levels are welcome.
• Sign up at the door

What to Expect:
• A welcoming, supportive atmosphere
• Refreshments and light snacks included in $5.00 entry fee
• Opportunities to connect with fellow poetry lovers

Whether you're a seasoned performer or a first-time reader, we encourage you to join us for an evening of creative expression and community spirit. Let's hike together—one poem at a time! We look forward to seeing you there!
