Open mic-night

I did my first night at a poetry open night

only went to watch but to my surprise and fright

they asked me to participate and to recite

some of my poems in front of them all

I agreed but was as nervous as hell

I am ok writing but not big on public speaking at all

but I gave it a go and blow me down

it felt good it felt natural and it all went well

and when I was to do a second I felt in to it

it’s amazing what can happen

when you step out of your comfort zone

and put yourself on show.
