"In This Small Town…"

In this small town we watch the clouds move slowly over the hump
Darkness comes quick, but the light never dims

Big things happen!

Hear the hoot of the owl
The slap of the beaver's tail
And the song the coyotes sing

It gets real
Music heals
We listen, learn, laugh, and care

In this small town, we'll turn your frown: upside down!

We can create our own future.
Happy, safe, calm, amazing.

We have so many cool people!

In this small town, I will strive to listen even harder.

There are many strange but true stories…

Ferrets!
Why are there *so* many ferrets!

I can almost always see the mountain

People LOVE!
Sidewalks.

Many close friends
Lots of love
Good community spirit

I made a family
My family made two young boys
In the mountains, rivers, and valleys
They are married now
Living in the mountains, rivers, and valleys.

Community is the great healer

When my mom goes screaming at the bobcat (today)
Go mom! Go mom!

Safe
Fun
Kind
and
Helpful

...that was the latest edition of our group poem from Open Mic Night at Huntington Town Hall at our post-election event on November 9, 2024! Attendees responded to the prompt "In this small town," on a piece of card and tossed it into a box over the course of the evening. At the end of the evening, we pulled and read cards at random live at the mic resulting in our group poem: In This Small Town…

We'll hold our first event of 2025 on Saturday March 29 at 7pm!
Sign up at the door, which opens at 6:30pm.
