Me and the boys when we show up to The Hazleton Free Verse and read some epic poetry:

09/07/2019

”People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”

-The Paradoxical Commandments

“The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple’s a rose,
And the pear is, and so’s
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose –
But were always a rose.”
- Robert Frost

“Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer?
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”

So as of now, it seems that The Sage Exchange is booked for the entirety of September, so unfortunately there will be no poetry slam for the upcoming month. HOWEVER, big things are planned for both October & November, and I can’t wait to share them with you all! I hope to see you there💕 sorry for the long wait, but we’re back in October for sure :)

After much consideration, it’s been mutually decided that the Hazleton Free Verse will be skipping the month of July due to the event falling directly on Fourth of July weekend. We’ll be back for August! Have a great holiday!

Big thanks to everyone who came out tonight. We can’t possibly imagine what next month has in store for us! Please feel ...
