Attended reading marathon


I attended the poetry reading marathon at St. Mark's Church on New Year's day. It was the third year in a row I went. I enjoyed listened to an eclectic group of poets recite their words. As I listened the thought came to me that they are sharing a bit of their lives to strangers.


Someone told me once that everybody has a story to tell. Our own stories are unique in that there's no one else who has the same exact story. It is truly their own. With that I have decided to read at this event next year. I'm doing research as to how to go about it.


I have written three poems in the past ten days. Essays and short stories are my main disciplines but I'm branching out into poetry and prose. I'm excited and look forward to concentrating on this part of my writing.
