Hey :) Nice that you like it! I dont think I saw anyone entering the openmic with only poetry.. if you put music to it then its probably alright! But i think there needs to be some musical elements for it to qualify as a valid entry to this perticular open mic... there is nothing saying that there could not be a openmic dedicated for poetry reading though! You could start something like that! If your in no way a musician and still really want to do something with your poetry in this open mic then you could colaborate with someone with music skills to make your entry valid!... iv seen rap music for example in the contest.. so if you use some element of music and then read your poetry it might be accepted! Anyone reading this with a better answer please feel free to fill in or correct my answer! with love @timothybusker

Thanks, Timothy! Yes, might be a cool idea to start a poetry reading open mic. Afraid my music skills aren't too hot--glockenspiel and a bit of piano--probably third grade level ;)
