Word of Mouth: Diary

There’s always a first for everything.

My first new experience for the year 2017 is attending a poetry night event: Word of Mouth.

I have never imagined that one night, I would be sitting on the floor, listening to an amazing bunch of poet and poetess. Never crossed my mind at all. Never thought that I’d like it, let alone love it.

But I did!

I enjoyed the pieces and some touched my heart. Especially because the theme is sooo personal: diary. If only I had put enough effort to feel the feelings that they were trying to deliver, I would have cried! (I almost did but I didn’t. Close enough.) I have yet to reach that level of emotional expression, obviously.

I did laugh though.

Excuse me for stereotyping but I thought poems are supposed to be deep, emotional and dark. I never thought that it would be humorous. Boy, was I wrong. These people expressed themselves well enough that the showcase was super entertaining for me. I enjoyed it so much, I would recommend everyone to come at least once to experience it themselves.

I was blown away that night. Too bad I didn’t get to stay for the whole thing. Next time, I’ll stay longer so that I can be swept off my feet by more awesome strangers.

Thank you to my friend for giving me a reason to check this thing out. I love your emotional piece that I can resonate well with. I wish I have the talent and courage to bare my soul to the public like you did. You did great and I am so proud of you! #minishoutout

Now, where’s my creative juice? Or to be more precise, where are my emotions?
