"REWIIIIIIIND!" -- all the way from GA.

Hey errr bo-day.

Today I'm posting from my phone because I am in Valdosta, Georgia for part of the weekend getting my car fixed and visiting my big bro-ham! Woot!  

Sooo....last night I went to one of my favorite poetry spots for Black on Black Rhyme's weekly Thursday night open mic and I can't help but to fall in love with not only the venue but the whole vibe that they so beautifully create. 

So, I'm just vibin', listening to some poetry when out of nowhere, the host calls me on stage to do a poem. To his

 surprise, I agree and transform this opportunity to dog me out about being "the one who sits in the back writing all kindsa poetry but never performs", into an opportunity to try out a brand spankin' new piece I have been workin' on for a while. I go on stage, make small talk, and as soon as the crowd goes silent...

BAM!

I erupt with the first few lines of my poem. The crowd is in awe! People are, oooh yes'n and that's right'n! Suddenly someone yells out "REWIIIIIIIIIND!!!!!" indicating that I've been ordered to go back and spit that line one more time! I'm feelin it! My heart is pounding, my eyes are squeezed shut and all I can hear is the cacophany of keys shaking in agreeance with my flow and right when I'm half through...

::suspense::

::suspense::

 I forget all the flippin' words.

....

Good thing I had my journal on hand. :)

I went on with the piece and bowed gracefully off of the stage, but not before I nearly wiped out trying to get back to my seat.

I had fun. Everyone really enjoyed my piece but not nearly as much as I enjoyed delivering it.

I'm going to try and record me performing the piece this weekend so that I can show you guys. 

Until next time, this is j.appleseed signing out.

Godspeed
