Note Poetry is a practice of collecting words and phrases during keynote presentations and community conversations and then crafting them into poetry.
It starts with deep listening and attending to the energy conveyed through words, tone, and body language. The resulting flow of words expresses both the content and spirit of the conversation or presentation. As they read the poem, attendees often feel seen and heard. And those that missed the event will have an embodied understanding of what was communicated.
Inspiration
Inspired by Kelvy Bird of the Presencing Institute and generative scribing which is described as a distinct social art form that facilitates group learning and cultural memory. Scribes create pictures, and in my case poetry, that integrate content, prompt insight, and aid with decision-making.

Note Poetry from Art of Presencing Hub with Gabriela, Janilyn, and Sarah. October 31, 2025
Three people gather. Radiant with smiles, they are happy to meet. In this context, she courageously steps in. She feels the poetry of her internal barriers and prepares to open, to make room for whatever is about to happen. Sometimes when she opens to people, to the moment, she feels free and falls in love.
At other times she is here, and wants to be there. She wants to move, to glide, to discover a second door that leads to presence and light. She has a choice, so she steps back and reimagines the situation.
She sees the same things afresh and feels into the realm of possibilities. Inside her clarity and fluidity grow up together. A reinvention is taking place. Her outside begins to reflect her insides or is it the other way around?
She goes deep into the circle of connection, feels held, and blooms.
