THE MELODY MAKER PRESENTS: The Dirty Gerund Poetry Show lron Poet Qualifier!

Join us at a destination event on Saturday, June 28th at 6 pm all ages are welcome! Open mic backed by the DG Houseband. The location is a full-service guitar shop serving local coffee and bagels. Limited space — PLEASE RSVP by using our Eventbrite to secure seating. Tickets are FREE & WILL go fast

What is this Iron Poet business?!

At the start of the open mic, two pre-selected poets will be called out and given a secret ingredient. These poets then head into their respective corners for the remainder of the open mic and take this ingredient to cook up THREE poems:

ONE new haiku written on the spot
ONE new original piece written on the spot
INSERT that ingredient into an original poem they have already read on our stage before

Poets will then be judged by select audience members by a variety of categories as Mathdad tallies up the scores. Similar to a Slam, on a scale of 0-10, but nothing like a Slam (no strict rules, and tell me, how did that poem taste??)

What’s the secret ingredient?? It could be hot sauce, it could be Garfield, it could be any noun adjective or verb– chosen in secret by the venue staff and shared with Nark just before the show.

We are excited to bring the ruckus to Clinton ! Please join us for our first of two special location qualifiers this summer.
