Poetry

 so, I did a thing last night.  I read from my book and talked about poetry, these poems and life in general to a group of about ten people.  I think it went well and I appreciated the love and support from people who knew how important this was to me. 

I wrote a book.  Yes.  After around 60 years of saying and dreaming I did it.  I have read one or two poems at local open mikes but this was all .. me.  Talking about me and my process and my history.

I think it went ok.

Several people asked  "what next?"  I don't know, but this morning I thought I would start writing more poems. I started THIS blog to write every day and maybe I should spend more time doing just that- this blog plus poetry every day.  

I think I will start a personal blog for my poetry and see where it takes me, sharing here when I think it is appropriate.

My book is available on Amazon, but the Friends of the Los Feliz Library bought a batch, I have them so if you want one, hit me up.  Donation goes back to the Friends  $11 bucks.

This one can be signed by me ( lol)
