This may be inviting disaster…

But I’ve decided to perform some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell in the next couple of weeks.

I became enamoured of the idea last night after I had a horrible meeting with the group who I am supposed to be doing an Accounting assignment with. I guess it was also the flowering of a seed planted last Saturday when, while sitting waiting for my friend to join me, one of the organisers asked if it was my first time there and if I was interested in reading.

I don’t really know why, but it seems like a good idea, I wrote a poem last night to celebrate the decision. I haven’t spoken in front of a group for a really long time but I used to do it a bit.

It’s one of those ‘put yourself out of your comfort zone’ things that I have been trying to do recently. Stay tuned for a review of whether I actually do it and how it goes. I will also publish the poems that I read for you in the blogosphere who are not able to attend.

It’s scary but potentially really awesome!

PS: this is my 50th blog post. I am pretty stoked with my progress and with my consistency in posting. Yay me!

  1. that sounds awesome! let me know when you’re doing it and i’ll see if i can make it 🙂

    1. Will do! I would like to get in touch with the organisers before I get up so I will see whether I can get a hold of them before the next meeting on Saturday. They’re every week 2-5pm on a Saturday so if not next week, the week after or the one after that for sure!

  2. Hope it goes well! I doubt we’ll be able to come being a Saturday but you never know! I think it’s a good idea to challenge yourself in such ways – good on you!
