Want to learn more about poetry? The Poets of the Palm Beaches will host three events in November, to which the public is welcome. Events take place in different parts of Palm Beach County and are FREE. Some Poetry Readings offer Cash prizes. This month’s Form is “Terza Rima Sonnet” and your prompt is: Rewrite a well-known poem (i.e. Frost’s Stopping by the Woods …) making it your own.  If you are curious, a beginner, intermediate or advanced poet, this is the organization to get involved with! Their mission is to support and encourage the creation of original poetry in Palm Beach County, FL. The Rickie Report shares the information here.
