Greetings fellow poets. Good news! GDAC (Greater Denton Arts Council) will be sponsoring Kitchen Sync on the third Thursday of every month at the PAC in the Festival Hall from 6:30 to 8:30. Our first meeting is January 17th.
We are adding a small twist this year. We’ll be announcing a prompt at the beginning of each evening. Poets wishing to participate may bring a poem to the following meeting, containing the given word in any configuration (adjective, noun, participle, present past, etc.). Thematic poems go first in the following meeting. Poets read in order according to sign-up sheet.
Otherwise, format is the same – sign-up starts at 6:15. Each poet gets to read one poem. of reasonable length. at a time, taking turns according to their place on the sheet.

January Prompt
The prompt for January is ‘two-faced’. I chose it because January is named after Janus the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings. He is depicted as a pillar topped by two heads or one head with two faces staring in opposite directions because every path has two directions. It’s a slippery sort of word , rather like our January weather. Have fun with it.
