The Seventeen Syllable is community driven event where poets compete in an effort to win a cash prize and a tiara. We at Death Rides a Unicorn believe this to be an excuse to come together, to laugh, to share space and time and to celebrate each other.

The poets will be judged by 5 random members of the audience who will sport furry flags instead of score cards. We will dole out chocolate, as we do with all our events, and encourage people to wear costumes if they wish.
