Thanks for posting! This was a lot of fun. Much thanks to our host James for setting it up.
Big thank you to all those who performed and all those who attended – I really enjoyed it, and ALL the poetry was simply fabulous! Glad you liked it ABB.
Joseph Sale’s reading of my poetry was absolutely fabulous! He read them with all the drama of a Shakespearean actor. It was way better than anything I could have done. Thank you so much, Joseph!
Agreed, Cheryl. My own poem would have been raised to a higher level if Joseph had read it instead of me!
A good time was had by all.
Many thanks to James for hosting.
Thanks Cheryl and thanks James: I perhaps could develop a new career as managing my son and hiring him out to perform! The response to his reading has been extremely gratifying to me as his father. Thank you so much.
