Peace and poetry, everyone.
This is Nyne Elementz, host of The Session,
Prysmatic Dreams monthly
poetry telecypher. The Session operates like an open mic. In order
for this to work, we need to have all the participating poets abide
by a few simple and basic rules.
1st - Respect the mic, Respect the
mic, Respect the mic!! The
mute/unmute button available to everyone is #6 on your telephone
keypad. Please use it to mute yourself during the performances and
during the brief interviews. When the poets finish performing, you
can unmute yourself to show your appreciation for the poem for one
minute. Please remember to mute yourself afterwards unless you
are the next performing poet!
2nd - Roll Call for poets is between
9:30 and 9:50 pm EST. If you are not there, then another
poet will take your place! It's only fair that the available poets
get their chance to shine. I do make exceptions for certain phone
connection problems that may arise. I'm only being professional
and fair!
3rd - For non-featured poets, you
have 5 minutes to perform one piece! In the case of haikus,
senryu's, or other short poems, you may spit three of those! The
feature poet will have 15+ minutes to do his/her thing!
4th - Be professional.
You don't know who is listening to you or making the decision of
whether or not he wants to book you simply by the quality of your
delivery. Mistakes are ok. Just don't act foolish.
5th - Signup time is between the
1st and 2nd Saturday of every month! To sign up, e-mail

And lastly, enjoy yourselves @ The
Session. This is about poetry, and every last one of you
are appreciated. This session is for you to enjoy, too!!
