Yesterday at the FPL event, many people stopped to pick up information about Poetry Place and Write Mindful. Several of them added a line to our collaborative poem:

Sunday Afternoon at the Library

It's not all bright silence and shelved books.
Smiles at the door. You can meet someone new
here who loves poetry. Or you can be someone new to poetry!
You can be free to express your creativity. Or you can share
someone's joy.
Silently be and sip in
the refreshing atmosphere.
Enjoy reading lovely books!
Oh, the possibilities.
In a book I can travel anywhere
like a quiet beach or a thick forest.
A lady in a black leather cap
living among thousands of stories.

A collaborative poem by many who attended the Fresno County Public Library Poetry Contest Awards Ceremony on May 22, 2016.

"Dispel the notion that reading poetry is going to dramatically change your life. Your life is continually changing; most of the time you’re simply too busy to pay enough attention to it. Poems ask you to pay attention—that’s all."
