Ack! Stop. You're making me nervous. 😂

I wrote the first chapter. You will have to tell me if she's got the legs to carry her through a whole book.

This reminds me of the “poetry slams” I used to go to when I was younger. I can imagine how it might sound when recited.

Nice! That's the exact vibe I'm going for, Rich. The first one I wrote had even more of a "beat" behind it. This one flowed more conversationally, but still really fun to write. Thanks for listening. 🎤

Get it, Meg! Another badass open mic poem! Loved it. 🎤

Have you thought about reading one of your open mic poems / providing an audio version? It would be neat to hear your poetry read aloud to capture your emphasis, tone, etc.

Yay! Thanks, Justin.

Audio would be great. I just need to grow a pair first. 😂

I dig the Open Mic concept as a recurring series. This one had a fun twist.

More importantly, HOME RAKER!!! Can't wait to see what you cook up.

"Today’s piece of poetic smack talk was a much-needed palate cleanse for yours truly. A little bit of heart housekeeping. A chance to clear the cobwebs." Uh... yeah. I got that. ha ha ha. Feel better now? I remember these kinds of conflicts happening in my 20s and 30s. So tiresome and painful at the time. Funny now.
