we're having a coffeehouse at school where we recite our own poems
What do coffeehouse poets wear!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I know some poets look like a painter if that helps!. They have a painter hat on and they have really cool and relaxed clothes on!. I would wear a nice sweater and a petty tee shirt with a curly hair or a hat on!. With nice jeans!. Hopefully this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

sequins and a feather boa

Well, actually do not wear sequins unless your poetry is really bad!. My mother used to say if you have nothing to offer dress funny!. Pretend you are fey ( Irish or Gay!.!.!. both are kinda creative cool)!. If you are fey pretend you are not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

we just had a "java jive" wear people recite poems and sing

the performers wore whatever they wanted
some wore formals clothes and someone jeans and a t-shirt
and didnt really matter
the performance is about you
so wear what you want!

I think you might just be missing the point of reading poetry!. If this was performance art, I could understand the fashion issues!. How about a beret and a pencil thin mustache!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just be yourself; dress as you usually do, bring a few poems, and have a good time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

dress in a way that you feel comfortable!. if people enjoy your poetry, they wont care what you're wearingWww@QuestionHome@Com
