Due to the perils of the pandemic, many of Poets United's in-person activities had to be placed on hold for the year of 2020/2021. With restrictions lifted and the city gradually re-opening, thankfully, we were able to take our interaction potentially off of Zoom on July 2nd, and soar to new heights! Pun intended.
Our backyard poetry parties are among our most popular offerings, and this one exceeded my expectations. We were divinely blessed with perfect weather (despite consecutive days of down pour.)
The menu consisted of: fried chicken, tacos, spaghetti, french fries, fried rice, wine, champagne, delicious desserts, and even a candy buffet for guests.
As the pictures will reflect, the gathering was attended by all different age groups and represented an array of styles of expression.
We partied hard...which included a few of the line dances and Cha-Cha slides.
We look forward with anticipation and hope to next year's sequel. A special thanks to all of the poets and supporters who contributed to the event's success!
Here are some of the comments from those on the scene:
“Thanks soo much, Jen, for all of your great efforts and organization in bringing this wonderful event to fruition. It was a successful and fun time for all!”
Deb
“I enjoyed myself today. You definitely should give the next event sooner!”
Leonard
“It was off the chain, girl!”
