 explore the bio poem-a simple but profound poetic form used to honor a per
 son who shaped their life\, whether a grandparent\, child\, mentor\, or fr
 iend. Using guided prompts\, shared reflections\, and creative writing too
 ls\, each attendee will craft a 10-line poem that preserves legacy\, emoti
 on\, and voice.</p>\n<p>This workshop is part of Generation 305\, a civic 
 poetry initiative designed to uplift everyday stories across generations a
 nd cultural backgrounds. No prior writing experience needed-just bring a m
 emory and an open heart.</p>\n<p>All participants will be invited to share
  their poems and optionally contribute to the Generation 305 Public Archiv
 e\, preserving their voice in Miami-Dade's collective cultural record.</p>
