A Stand Alone
Picking a poem for a reading
is like playing spin the bottle
when you’re 13 years’ old
Do you want to be picked?
Are you rewarded with a kiss?
or happy with your lucky miss?

And you have to try not to show favouritism by choosing the same ones over and over….

LOL, it’s definitely felt that way to me when I had to decide what to read out loud. A mix of awkward and thrilling.

I think every poem would like to be picked, and be rewarded with a kiss. 🙂

Our youngest grandaughter will be 13 in July, I might ask her. First I will ask her what she knows about the game. We played it like tag, the person pointed was tagged, out but had the next spin.

I like this poem of yours.
I once participated in poetry readings. (That sounds so exciting and grand, but it was just a few readers doing their own poetry to a few friends who felt obligated to listen, ha). It was hard to choose from all my little creations and never felt I’d chosen the right ones.

I would be ecstatic with a lucky miss! 🙂
