Triumphant (ahem) return to stage!

30 March 2008

Last night I went along to my first ever poetry slam, in Cambridge, and read a couple of poems - a very old one and quite a new one. Much to my surprise (and probably the chagrin of the far better poets there) I won the audience vote with my incredibly crude old poem!

It’s another thing ticked off my “things to do before I’m 30″ list and - much more than that - it was a really nice night out with a couple of friends and hearing some good local poets.

I may return to the stage again this year if I can write some more - and find another slam…

    Ah…it was the naughty poem that won the audience over! Good for you Adam. Hope Gregory’s feelings weren’t too badly hurt?
