Knittry and Poeting

[boneverse]

Firstly: how amazing is this icon? VERY. Unfortunately, I have no idea who made it or where the cat haikus are from. Still: AMAZING AND TRUE.

However, I actually logged on to talk about the Poetica Poetry and Knitting event I attended tonight. It was better and had larger audience than I expected (yes, I am a 'glass half empty' kind of person). It was, of course, still a relatively small event with roughly 30-40 people in attendance including 10 of us who were reading.

I read the second so didn't have too long to be nervous. I read Kaleidos and in babylon they laugh with broken teeth, and in doing so, to an audience, remembered again how much I used to love acting. And this is kind of like that except better because it's my own words.

Oh performance high, I have missed you.

Anyway, it was a really good night. I spoke to quite a few people, received (and gave!) compliments and got poached into some experimental poetry workshop, which I think I will check out as invited.

Oh performance high, I have missed you. Snickers.

It sounds like a really good night hun and I'm so glad you are going forward with your poetry.

mmmm, performance high. nothing gives me the feel of scary superhuman omnipotence like performing to an audience. *___*

So, so glad it went well!!

The icon is fabulous though I think they culd have slowed it down a little. I'm a fast reader and I'm still struggling... I shall save it and play it on Fireworks.
