Muir Outspoken: Creative Writing Collective
If you or someone that you know would like
To find a place and time to sit and write,
Or maybe share some pieces you have writ,
Or find some folks to help inspire wit.
Perhaps you seek a place outside the norm,
And find a place to laugh within the storm.
A place to foster creativity;
Then Muir Outspoken this place may just be
