Freeing the Poet Inside of You—FREE Webinar!

Freeing the Poet Inside of You—FREE Webinar!

Have you ever tried to write a poem, but given up because you just “couldn’t find the right words?”

Have you ever written a poem knowing you need to have SOME kind of format and meter, but you just weren’t sure where to start?

Have your words ever made somebody smile?

Then this is the program for you.

What is Poetry? It seems that society today is under the impression that poetry is some mystical higher-state of writing. That poetry is complex, and should remain permanently entombed in some vault along with the rest of Shakespeare’s works. And yet, something doesn’t necessarily have to have two rhyming couples or a four-line quatrain to be considered poetry. Nor does it have to be iambic pentameter or rhyme royal.  The reality is that there are only two tools really necessary to create poetry: a dash of inspiration, and a dash of information. Once you have these, your words will cease to be just words and will become something more. Something new. Something that YOU created.

In this free Webinar you’ll come away, not only with a sonnet written by you, but with a basic understanding of how to continue to write and discover the poet inside of you. You will become acquainted with poetry written by Shakespeare, Dr. Suess, Sarah Kay, and even the Backstreet Boys; all the while learning how to format the rhythm and meter of your poetry for a more resonant result.

Poetry was meant to be experienced, not just for the reader, but for the writer as well. So join us online for an experience that you’ll be sure to remember!
