This is an evening group of poetry and wine enthusiasts. It is also a follow up to Poems and Coffee for those who can't make Sunday morning, but still love poetry and would like to discuss poetry over a glass of wine. This will be a group for writers and readers of the literary art form. This first meeting will be designed around what people bring to the group. I'd like to discuss the idea of creating a forum of reading poetry by members or others and those who enjoy writing poetry. Part of the …

Poetry. Prose. Words like secret doors to other worlds. We want to hear and experience what you've written. The Service Bay Bar provides a comfortable atmosphere to grab a drink, get on the mic, and let go...share your poetry with us, whether you're a newcomer to the spoken word scene or if you really know how to heat up the mic. Give us what you've got and be eager to hear from others who have their own poems and words to put forth.

Meet other folks who love poetry or write poems. Each time we meet, at a local coffee house, we'll share poems that we love. Either from our favorite poets or from our own collection that we've written.

Does music thrill you? Is your heart a flower, dripping petals everywhere? Is there a feeling you get when you look to the west? Do you wish you were one of the Van Trapp children, skipping through the Alps singing a merry song? Oh, Good! I found you!

If you're a reverer of nature, come on a hike with me. Woo-hoo! Let's Howl.

This Meetup group is for people who don't hike in 'mission mode'. We don't drive through to the finish line, we stop and smell the roses. This is a great group for people who for health reasons need to take it a bit slower, or for people who want to stop and ID plants, or read trail signs, listen to birdsong, take photos, declaim poetry, contemplate color.
