In this creative workshop you will see
That sonnet writing really isn’t hard.
We’ll work on form and creativity
And write a poem worthy of the Bard.

You’ll play around with Shakespeare’s words and form
And maybe even add some ‘Thou’s’ and ‘Thee’s’.
Iambic rhythm will become the norm;
We’ll have you writing poetry with ease.

So join us for an hour or so of fun —
You’ll write a poem better than this one!!

This program is presented by Chris Hicks of Central Florida Community Arts and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
