Zurich Poetry Club

✍️ What if writing became a game?

Join us for a relaxed ‘’Ink & Drink’’ evening where we play with the English language over a drink, exploring wordplay, sound, rhythm, and meaning in a fun and creative way, surrounded by books.

Do these ring a bell?

➡️ A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.
Do geese see God?
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
No lemon, no melon.

These are palindromes - phrases that read the same forwards and backwards, and they're just one of the playful tools we'll explore together.

This session is designed as a hands-on, playful writing lab, accessible to all levels.
We'll start with light icebreaker games mixing words and drawings, such as:

• collaborative writing games (exquisite corpse-style)
• riddles, rebuses, and simple word puzzles

Then, you'll be invited to create your own short texts using:

• palindromes
• puns and wordplay
• anagrams and sound-based games
• playful constraints that spark creativity.

If you prefer drawing, you're also welcome to create rebuses or visual word puzzles instead of writing.
Sharing at the end is always optional.

What to expect:

• No prior writing experience needed.
• Materials will be provided
• Please plan to order at least one drink, as a courtesy to the venue hosting us.

Come play with language, stretch your imagination, and enjoy a creative evening together in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Looking forward to playing with words together! ✨
