among poets again
let me be clear: I have excursed once. it is at least a start. and it was a wonderful start! I love hearing poetry. I love listening to poetry. (yes, they are two different activities.) in particular yesterday I loved hearing poetry and I loved listening to poetry. I enjoyed visiting with poets. I liked being welcomed back into the community. I knock on wood that I have started my return. one of my favorite pieces of yesterday may have only happened in my mind. in the open mic, I read first, and when I finished my first poem, a lady in the front row burst out "you wrote that?" "yes ma'am," I said. "goddam," she responded. "that sounded like a real poet wrote it." thank you, ma'am.
It is really great to have someone appreciate your work and show deep enthusiasm. :)
