I did that reading for the kiddies, I think there were about 100 in that room. My son made sure all his friends showed up. They at least seemed interested. The teacher liked it. I do quite a bit of public speaking so it was a little easier for me. Just remember to breathe. Talk so they can hear you. And what you have to say is important. And if all else fails. Thank of them all being nekkid!!!!...

Thank you. I remember when you did that. And how bad could it be? Did I ever tell you I taught study skills to a big 10 conference football team? (Stop laughing. Right now!) Now they were a tough sell. (When they didn't answer my questions, the coach yelled at them--it was pretty awful, lol.)
And Eve and I do love each other, but I doubt it will ever be consummated. It will have to stay carnally unrequited for the betterment of somethingkind.

Ang...
I went to regular Tuesday night poetry readings for over a year until they stopped abruptly about a month ago.
I must say I did a lot of testing of my poems there. And some were better spoken than read...
Oh... and Doug did get to (sort of) hear one of my readings on my cell phone. He said it was hard to hear, so I gave him a private reading later. Damn cell phones.
I suggest just getting up and reading them. Pick out one person in the audience who looks sympathetic (preferably someone you don't know), and read to that person. It helped me. It also got me a marriage proposal... Guess I should be careful which poems I read...
Anyhow, good luck. YOu have a fabulous voice. You'll be great.

Ohhh, that's sad. Unrequited faux girl+girl love. Bless our painfully straight hearts.Angeline said:And Eve and I do love each other, but I doubt it will ever be consummated. It will have to stay carnally unrequited for the betterment of somethingkind.

I think D. had everyone read poetry to him over the phone.Cordelia said:
I read him the Spider and Fly, among others, since it was the poem I had to read aloud in school. lolThat's what we should do. Start a poetry phone reading club. We take turns calling each other and reading a poem. That's it. You get to hear a poem and end of call. Of course, I'll be charging 19.95

Now you're calling yourself peckerphobic? I bet you have posters of rocket ships and trains speeding through tunnels all over your bedroom.BlueskyBeauty said:well that depends. are you female?

ok here's one
I'm thinking about reading. This and another few that I just unearthed.
Bird's Nest
Ok.
No proof. No proof
but damn cute. Tan
suede miniskirt, lace tee,
long boots. Hair, too,
waist long, but sweet 16,
and not a damn clue
of that power.
Just
never
knew
or I wouldn't be here,
shuckin outside, smoking
these classy-ass jive Dunhills.
Wise ass little girl,
trash talkin the bouncer,
who laughs and says
No.
I'd be at the bar
with gin, frosted sloe,
grenadine sweet, me big-eyed,
eyeballing the scene,
watching my Joey, my G
and those long-fingered
Hofner fret runs.
His backbeat lady
eight days a week.
I'd be with my buds,
blue-eyed soul team,
barnstormer bros, drinking
and nodding:
You sing it.
It's true. You are
My Pride and Joy,
my best friends.
You.
All of you.
In-between sets
we walk by the river,
smoke silly high and giggle
sneak through the alley
back door to dancing,
laughing with Barb.
Then someone, who was it?
whispered
James Joyce was a baaad boy.
Green eyes stopped me.
Took my drink away.
Silly girl! Watch out
for sloe gin and black light.
Goddamn you green eyes!
You never said watch out
for kisses on Jacob’s Creek Road
in your blue Fiat Spyder
later that night.
