We invited you to write a rhyme on any topic you felt comfortable writing, in whatever style you preferred. The contest rules were limitless: topic, language, style, and length. Submissions also used the “code-switching” method, which means they crisscrossed the language in their writing in multiple languages. Read the submitted poems.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to CANCEL this event. If you already purchased a ticket to Filoli House and Gardens so that you could join us, please send an email to sokolsfevents@gmail.com and let us know.
