I did it. Again.

I got up in front of a crowd of total strangers (no support people this time) and read three of my poems... I was well received! Oh god, my voice shook, but I guess nobody heard it but me... The Coffee Cartel, Riviera Village, every Tuesday night except holidays...8 PM... About a dozen folks read... It was fun! I plan to go back...

20. Congratulations. Again.

It takes courage to stand up and perform in front of a strange crowd. Not everyone can do that.

Thank you! I think you must be right... I was scared, but I was damned if I was going to let it stop me... Something compelled me to perform... So I did. :hi:

33. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy

I am still waiting for my awesome poem from you!!! :woohoo: :hi: "The mind of man has always longed to know what lies beyond the world we live in. Explorers have ventured into the depths and heights. Of these explorers, some are scientists, some are mystics. Each is driven by a different purpose. The one thing they share in common is a wish to cross the borderlands that lie beyond the CaliforniaPeggy Awesome Poems..."
