Open Mic

The Open Mic event today provided a great platform for those needing experience to perform their songs, poetry and skits to an audience. I delivered poems from, what I have affectionately named, the 'I can't Sleep Monologues' series. I've written quite a few now that I'm debating dedicating a whole (typed) collection to this theme. I currently have them stored under 'Poetry Misc 2', but I feel they are beginning to take a life of their own. It has been interesting to see how creating expectation in what you are going to deliver over a series of events can create a warm audience reaction that builds over time.
