Summary: My Leap into Performance Poetry ,a finalist in "Short Fuse`s,Poetry Idol".Had a great time but didn`t win ,early days ah!




Flyers handed out,will it be alright on the night ?
Oh yea some fame game bid?"Poetry idol 5!"
I`m worried about the mike,it`s just a an expression I don`t want to deny!
Thought I was going to be fit ,a pair of 34",Jeans,
Snugly tightly ,a little fat fit,I must admit.
I thought of learning my lines ,kept them though;thought I would lose it!
Six little kinda eggs ,clickity,click.
Pick out where the toys used to recide,
names curled up like a spring inside.
Jack`n box,me to be picked ,the last hit on the stage I start to recite.
I had a good time kicking out those poems,boom or bust ,
my first real performance,so an experiance thrust!
I didn`t win on the day,
just happy to be accepted to be able to perform and write ,my way!
