TOLEDO—Members of the Toledo Christ the King Junior High School Power of the Pen Team invite anyone who loves to write poetry to join them for their weekly meetings.

Beginning Oct. 26, the group is to meet every Wednesday from 7-8:30 p.m. in the school library. The group is to review the basics of poetry writing, brainstorm, practice writing exercises, examine published poems and then create, share and edit their own.

The overall topic is the Good News throughout the liturgical calendar, beginning with the Feast of Christ the King, through Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, the Passion, Easter and Pentecost.

The group’s purpose is to spread the Good News through poetry and its goal is the creation of a book of poems to be published in June 2012.

The group’s moderator is sixth-grade teacher Cindy Roberts (author C.M. Millen) and participation is open to all. There is no cost to attend, but attendees are asked to bring a pencil, paper, an openness to share writing and to care about others. Previous experience is not necessary.
