SUMMARY:F26-0924P\, Basic Poetry Class
DESCRIPTION:These four sessions are facilitated by Alice Mergler\, Dottie Ward-Wimmer\, and Tim Riegner. They will take us into poetic foundations: the ABCs of what poetry is and how to begin planting your words like seeds that grow into rhythms\, rhymes\, stories\, and wisdom. We will write and then read each other’s work\, sometimes silently\, sometimes aloud\, before discussing it. Often hearing their work read aloud helps writers to understand and enhance their own unique style. Please bring writing materials and join us to meet your inner poet. Newcomers are most welcome. \nPresenter: Alice Mergler\, Dottie Ward-Wimmer and Tim Riegner\nAlice Mergler has enjoyed a rewarding teaching career\, 24 years of it spent teaching English\, history\, and drama in Prince William County.
