Open Mic/Poetry session

last night was open mic, but it also conflicted with awards night at the college. Since the majority of my poets are students and teachers from the college, that left myself, Cyndy and Joyce. So we had a lot of time to discuss our lives, what events lead up to the writing of different poems and sometimes just sharing parts of our lives. Joyce told some wonderful stories that had us laughing. We had so much fun we decided to continue our session this morning and met at the Brick Street Coffee Break at 11 a.m. Cyndy wanted to do a challenge where someone gave a topic and we all wrote poems about it. Now, that's nothing new to me since my sisters and I did a lot of that growing up. We all wrote down a word or line and dropped them in a bag, and one by one we pulled them out, and wrote poems. We didn't get to all of them, but in the two hours there, between more talking and laughing, we each wrote four more poems. A creative, fun session to start the day. Couldn't ask for anythimg more. Wish I had more time for such ventures.
