You're feeling kinda down but you don't know why, all these people talkin' at you and you just say bye. You're computer and phone always blinging and ringing while your eyes are out the window and the birds are singing. When you're trapped inside don't run and hide, why not go to Olympia Center Tuesday night and show your deeper side. If there's anything you think you've got to hide Tuesday's the night to make that darkness bright: Olympia Poetry Network sponsors "Words at Play in the Natural World," a Paul Gillie Memorial Workshop with Carolyn Maddux delight. Those attending should bring a short poem on nature, or you'll be dubbed a ______.

WORDS AT PLAY IN THE NATURAL WORLD, 7 p.m., The Olympia Center, 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, no cover, 360.701.2030
