A Midsummer Night’s Dream Lovin’ Poetry Share

“Summer lovin’ happened so fast,” sang the Firefly. “And so the drama ensues,” teased Puck. Come, sit for a spell. Drink the fairies’ sweet wine, let the tales spin and tangle, and share poems of dream lovers, night weavers, fantastical moments, and stands for the pursuit of freedom and happiness. And if you don’t have your own poems, read someone else’s. We always have a selection available.
Come read on Moonday, June 24, 6:30-8:00pm, in the Belding Memorial Library Meeting Room, 344 Main St., Ashfield, MA. Treats will be served.
