On Singing
Step up to the mic.
Open the box and let the birds fly.
Don't listen until they've gone.

Took an online class in "short poems" today. This is one of the things I wrote. Fun!

Online with the camera off, there's really nothing scary about it. (And it was a gift, so...)
Thank you

Thank you! (My mic is in a messy closet so I'm sure it isn't quite as lovely as whatever you're imagining!) 😆

Yes, the class was a birthday gift from my sister - just a single session. It was fun to hang out with other poetry nerds for a few hours!
Glad you enjoyed my little write. 😊

Hey not all poets are nerds! At least half are definitely not! And some, are wickedly fun and interesting! I use writing to calm my crazy ass down! Lol. Like it's a centering of things.
Besides, many of the so-called nerds are waiting for their moment to go boom! Then they don't look back. Lol

Haha! Perhaps the better word would be poetry "enthusiasts". I mean anyone who can 'nerd out' over poetry (not something that most of my friends do). I love people who get excited about their Thing, whatever that Thing may be! (I'm also part of a group called Nerd Fitness....)
Anyway, nerds are cool. 🤓 And hot. 🔥

Short poems tend to deliver a more powerful message, which makes the choice of words a little more difficult (at least for me). Music and singing sure invigorate the soul.
Nice work.

Yes, I like the challenge of short poems, making every word carry as much weight as possible. I think I'll probably try again to express this one better someday, but it was good enough for the few minutes they gave us to write something in the class...
Thanks for the read and comment.
