Your Poem (Prompt by Monika)
You've come! And you're not alone. It would seem quite a number of the poor souls trapped in this city have come to this meeting. That's a great occasion to meet new people, catch up with acquaintances and spend time with friends. Not only that, but Sayori and Pam have prepared lots of good things to eat and to relax. Amidst the horrors of this city, today is a day to relax and have fun.

But before that, do you remember what was the one requirement for you to come to this meeting? A poem! A little piece of your heart written on a paper, for you to show to anyone you meet today! Whether you've spent less than a minute scribbling something on a piece of paper, or half a day making the most beautiful poem ever, that's the perfect way to break ice!

And don't worry about your poem being "bad." That's not the point, is it? It's only a means for you to open a little bit of yourself you otherwise wouldn't... Even if you've done your best for no one to understand the meaning behind your poem!

(( Feel free to use this form to post your poem! This isn't a prompt in itself, just general guidelines for the poem. If you want to give your poem a little bit of extra personality, here's a list of web safe fonts! Just replace "FONT" with the font of your choice in the form below: ))




I. Snacks and Cocktails (Prompt by Pam)
Pam has been planning a cocktail party to celebrate her tiki bar and meet new people for weeks. Combining it with Monika's meeting is just an easy no-brainer. All the normal folk of Santa Rosita will have received an invitation either mailed or hand delivered by Pam (A pretty blue card stock with an island, palm trees and a drink in a coconut) letting them know about the get together and the poetry/lit club. Pam just...may have forgotten to inform her family until the day of. Oh well. Hopefully they'll sort it out and be ok with it. This is about being neighborly and about all the guests, anyway!

When guests arrive, the house is ready and living room seating is set up in a nice circle. The dining table is spread with a huge bowl of homemade chex mix, a few varieties of finger sandwiches, and deviled eggs on a two-tier egg display. There's a pitcher of lemonade and one of iced tea and cups for drink and plates for snacks.

Young children are offered the sunken family room and a collection of board games, or the back yard to play in. At the end of the evening, there will also be trays of cookies to replace the snacks in the dining room. For now they sit in the kitchen, covered by a tea towel. Don't steal any, ok?

The tropical music of Les Baxter and his orchestra plays softly and there is a small tiki themed liquor bar between the living and dining room. If any of the adults are interested in a cocktail, they can have it served in a high ball glass with cute atomic-era art on the sides. Feel free to get a drink and mingle while you wait for the poetry and sharing to start or once every one has had their turn.


II. Cupcakes and Literature (Prompt by Sayori)
Sayori's efforts are obvious. If Pam's invitations weren't enough, you may have also seen signs posted around town where appropriate, especially at the library and the high school, where Sayori can be found most frequently.

She's also acquired a wide range of snacks to contribute to the party/meeting — accompanying Pam's spread is a clearly store-bought assortment of chips, candy, and drinks. But then there are also some...frankly pretty ugly cupcakes in both vanilla and chocolate variety, all frosted. They've been clumsily decorated with the opposing frosting color (white for the chocolate cupcakes, brown for the vanilla,) with images of what are probably books and quill pens. There are also a few with palm trees, in honor of Pam's tiki bar.

The cupcakes come with a disclaimer sign tucked under their tray in Sayori's handwriting: Don't worry, I made these myself, so they're safe! Maybe someone has learned her lesson about the food from the townsfolk. Should you venture to try one, they're serviceable; it's obvious they were made from a boxed cake mix and premade frosting. But she did her best!

You've been instructed to write and bring a poem, of course, but that's not the only thing to talk about at the meeting. You may be prompted to talk about your favorite piece of literature, as well; what's it called? What's it about? Why do you like it? Share as much or as little as you'd like — everyone appreciates literature in their own way! Who knows, maybe you'll find something new to add to your reading list!
