Learn how to write an ode poem - a structured poetry style that celebrates people, places or ideas.

This workshop is for adults who already write poetry and want to build their skills.

This month, learn how to write an ode poem - a structured poem that celebrates a person, place or idea.

You will:

  • explore the poetry form with poet Rick Sanders
  • read examples and learn how the form works
  • write your own poem with support and guidance
  • need to arrive 10 minutes early - the Hive closes at 3:30pm

You can also come back in the evening for Verve Open Door - a free open mic event where you can listen or share your own poem.
