friday evening i attended a spoken word event, not my first, but definately my most interesting because i actually shared some of my own poetry. it felt great! i don't normally share my work with others in person because all of it is inspired by a person or event in my life and because my circle of friends is so small they will almost automatically know what or who i'm speaking on. this group of people though is a new creative group of people that i have formed a new connection with and they have really no idea who i'm speaking about. it was a great surprise for most of them because they had no idea i wrote poetry.
the young lady that was hosting the event was very happy i was speaking but was shocked by the content. i'm an open minded person and very comfortable with my sexuality and my emotional health so i read two pieces, both intimate but one very sexual and the other more emotionally intense and it stunned her and the audience (she didn't tell me that a lot of them were from her church) but they all enjoyed the work and though most of the artists before and after me spoke more on the spiritual realm they enjoyed my pieces.
i think i'll share more of me with them.
peace and blessings!
