The Power and Pulse of Poetry presented by Missouri Professional Communicators

10 am Saturday, October 10, 2026

Poems are read.
Strength and truth are written.
The rhythm of words 
Keeps the whole world smitten. 

Have you always wanted to write in a language that tells who you are and how you feel? Poetry is the answer.
Learn if a poem must rhyme. Find your audience. Direct your thoughts, your feelings, your approach to create the effect you want. 

Hear our poets, consider their efforts to make meaning of the world in which they live, and meet their challenges. Beginners and seasoned poets are welcome. 

  • When: 10 a.m. CST Saturday, October 10, 2026.

  • Where: St. Louis Artists’ Guild, 12 N. Jackson Ave., Clayton, MO.

  • FREE admission. Bring a small notebook to capture your own efforts.

  • RSVP by October 9 at mpcnfpw@gmail.com to reserve a place in person or receive an online link to the program.
