For next time, write a proem imitating the style of Harper's Magazine's "Findings" section (link below).

It's a random collection of facts but feel free to make up your own. See you Thursday at 7.
About Me
- Abbreviated Writers' Group of Wesley Chapel
- We're a wee writing group meeting the second and fourth Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Wiregrass Barnes and Noble (on the second floor). We're looking for new members in the area interested in writing, reading, and discussing short verse, prose poetry, short-short fiction, nano-fiction, flash fiction (@300-500 words), etc. Whether you're a beginning writer or a nine-time award-winning novelist (it could happen), stop by and try your hand at these under-appreciated and abbreviated forms. Novel chapters, epic poems, or any other writing of length--while all worthy pursuits--are not our thing. We've selected two texts to help provide inspiration: "Great American Prose Poems," edited by David Lehman and "Sailing Alone Around the Room" by Billy Collins. Drop by. No big whoop.
