If you want to be a poet, never thought about being a poet, or are already a poet, plan to join us at our May meeting and learn how easy it is. There are short forms of poetry that do not have to rhyme, or need punctuation. They can be a short, interesting, fresh way to talk about something. Come to the meeting with a thought about the seasons, nature, human emotions, a particular memory, or a message you want to share. Maybe something about parents for Mother’s or Father’s Day, or a graduate in June. Plan to join us in May when our very own Christine Grassman teaches us how you do not have to be a poet to express yourself through poetry.</span><span
