Poetic vibez
DTL Poetry is a platform that brings you an entirely new outlook on
the Poetry Community. Poetry doesn't stop at just open mics and
showcases. Watch as we bring you performances by poets
everywhere, poetry in cinematic form with both Poets and Actors, and
now a Poetry Podcast dedicated to the artists behind the pen.
At DTL Poetry, our mission is to continue to create a safe space for all
poets to share their voices. We open our platform to poets all over.
We have a variety of featured poets and open mic signups, that
venture from various cities to join our Poetic Vibez Events.
Now introducing: DTL Poetry: People’s Choice Competition
You can find our events held at Kanvas Event Center & Sweet Bakes

Not Enough
Do you know what a rainbow baby is? What about the
topic in itself being held in with shame, guilt and
embarrassment? Do you wonder how the men feel, or is
it considered too subjective?

I CARE
Mental Health is one of the most valuable things. At
times it is often ignored when it is not made a priority. It
can lead to clouded judgement, false identities, anxiety,
or worse. How often are you checked up on? Better yet...
Are you okay?

F*CK YOU
There are uncomfortable conversations we tend to have
behind closed doors, that no one talks about. If honesty
was given in its most direct form, there would be more
clarity than what people may think. How do you express
your pain to someone for the same issue you have with
one another? Are your perspectives different or the
same? Or are things forever one sided?

We’re on a mission to create something bold, beautiful, and entirely new — a
fusion of poetry and film that reimagines how stories are told.
With your support, we’re raising funds to bring this vision to life through a
series of poetic short films that center authentic voices and emotional truth —
turning verses into visuals and metaphors into moving moments on screen.
What Your Support Will Help Us Do:
- Film and produce high-quality poetic short films
- Support poets, filmmakers, and creatives — especially from
underrepresented communities - Rent equipment, secure locations, and pay our crew fairly
- Host community screenings to engage, inspire, and uplift others through
this new art form
Whether you give $5 or $500, every single contribution makes a difference. If
you can’t donate right now, you can still support us by sharing this campaign
with your community.
Thank you for helping us build a bridge between poetry and film.
Let’s make art that moves — literally and figuratively.
