Poetry is an opportunity, it gives us the chance to celebrate and commemorate all the wonderful moments in our lives from the simplest smiles to the most momentous victories. It also enables us to cope in challenging times.
With poetry, we can address our problems, come to terms with them, and work to grow past them. It has the potential to move across the spectrum of human experience in a cathartic and often beautiful way.
Please only read original work.

"I Do, I Do" at Jesters Theatre
- Time: Sunday and Thursday Nights @7:30 p.m. Sept. 29-Oct. 27
- Location: Jesters Theatre, 224 Main St.
The story of a marriage is at the center of I Do! I Do!, an intimate and nostalgic work by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (The Fantasticks). Written as a star vehicle for theatre legends, Mary Martin and Robert Preston, the original Broadway production received seven Tony Award nominations.
The show begins with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day. Their vows behind them, they look forward to spending the rest of their lives together. We watch as they go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family and negotiate midlife crises. Michael eventually admits to his infidelity, and, although Agnes is angered by his actions, she forgives him and the couple reconciles. They rediscover how much they really need each other. Then, after 50 years of marriage, the couple leaves their house to the next pair of newlyweds.
This touching story of two soul mates navigating the perils of life is set to a tuneful, charming score.
Dinner & show tickets range $35-$45 and show-only tickets range $17-$27. For tickets, visit http://www.jesterstheatre.com or call 303-682-9980.

No special theme for this one, just a classic Beer and Hymns! Join us and we'll have fun singing a bunch of old hymns mixed in with other great pop songs from all decades. Beer and Hymns is a casual gathering of people who like the idea of singing old-school hymns (and other fun songs) over a beer, or soda if that’s more your thing. It's an all-inclusive space for people from all walks of life. Maybe you grew up in the church singing these songs. Maybe you used to go to church. Maybe you’ve never been or never heard these songs. Maybe it just sounds fun. We think you’ll really enjoy yourself so bring a friend and join us. No preaching. . . just a good old-fashioned sing-a-long. Sing like no one’s listening
