I started off sharing on a poetry site
Now I'm here on a open mic night.
It's something my mind had played many times
Never thinking that it could happen over night
From getting a message in the afternoon offering me this
I had six hours to try and deal with a three way battle
The heart ran straight to the brain.. Wait! Are you insane?
The brain just said, yes! now what are you going to do?
I didn't last long, drifting away from this merry-go-round
Suddenly it was silent, no sound but a knowing.
From that moment I knew what I had to do
Embrace this as you have nothing to lose
For life is for living not drowning in sorrow
So I'm going for this like there's no tomorrow.

Very, very well done PD!
I don't know if I had the courage to stand up in front of a crowd and read my poems. So, hat's off to you!
Thank you and again if not for the feedback you've given I wouldn't of tried it.
I'm pretty sure the thank you should be going the other way around, after all you're the one who writes these poems! And the open mic part was awesome, good on you!
I definitely gave myself a pat on the back but I would not be here or of gone there if not for people that said my work is worth hearing.
Way to go Dan. Congratulations. I give you much credit my friend. I went to one of these poetry nights and I did not have the courage to get up in front of everyone and recite my poetry. Good for you. You da man. Great write here too. ; )
Hey, I started a fusion poem and I'd like your input. You can find it on my front profile page under my list of poems. ; )
Not sure what that is but I'll take a look!
Thank you, the courage was found due to all of you, I was bricking it from the moment I entered until I finished. Then had a great dance buzzing with delight that I didn't run and flight!
You did well, better than I could. And thanks for adding to my fusion poem. ; )
That was fun! Thank you that was my first one.
I read it, nicely written. Thanks for your input. ; )
Not as good as others but I think that's what we all feel
Probably true, but still your words do measure up just fine. ; )
Very good write and well done at the open mike night.
Thank you my friend, your feedback over my time here has been really appreciated.
