Yesterday evening a friend and I went to an Open Mic night for poetry. My friend is a Poet in her very heart and soul. Whereas, I’m more of an appreciator of it as a creative form of prose.
We went to @The.S.Werd’s event in Preston. It was fantastic. Everyone who wants to share their poetry can do so and is given 5 minutes of mic time. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait till the next one.
There’s some really talented Poets out there, but combining poetry with performance really brings the words to life. You hear people’s stories and you feel what the Poet’s were feeling when they wrote their poems. Poems can be funny, deep, uplifting, weird and be about practically any topic.
So if you’ve never been to a poetry open mic night, I recommend you check one out.
Write soon,
Antony
