oOo, dear readers, you would have been proud of your little Fireblossom tonight. As part of a benefit event, I read some of my poetry at Affirmations, our gorgeous lesbian and gay center.
They liked me they really liked me.
I read four poems:
and Strippers.
They laughed. They listened. They clapped and yelled. I was told I am better than the ordinary brand, by an attractive woman or two. I quite liked that part.
Today Duckburg, tomorrow New York. Or not. But I sure enjoyed it, and it was for a good cause. :-)

They recieved a wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteI am proud of , and happy for you :-)
Hooray for Shay! I'm jealous. Now I'm out to buy one of those nifty pink knives that you have displayed here...
ReplyDeleteYou're extraordinary, Shay! Congrats! I wish I could have been in the audience doing some yelling and clapping of my own!
ReplyDeleteStrippers would have had me on my feet.
ReplyDeleteIt is a different kind of thrill isn't it to be able to see an audience "get it?"
Yay Shay!
ReplyDeleteMiss Blossom...?
ReplyDeleteMay I please have your autograph?
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteMade you feel all warm inside? And well deserved. I would love to hear you read your own work.

ReplyDeletexo Gabi
Yes... i agree with Gabi.. You are UNIQUE and I wish I could have been there listening to your own amzing poems
ReplyDeleteGreat Shay!
Congratulations, Shay!! I'm so happy for you. Keep on writing. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! As Steve Martin would say, "You're a somebody! You're a somebody!"
ReplyDeleteI had to read the poems first, just to see which ones you would choose for a reading. They are all wonderful - your imagination never ceases to amaze me - and I can't even say which one I like most.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Shay! Your success is more than deserved and not at all surprising.
xoxoxo
I am not surprised ...
ReplyDeleteA true shameless promoter type would have somebody record them reciting said poems so you could make a U-tube video and post it on your blog!
ReplyDeleteOf course they loved you.
Congratulations...that takes a lot of courage. However, I agree with other people who've commented...it doesn't surprise me that they loved you.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is pretty amazing:~)
I'm so very proud! Congrats.
ReplyDelete(And I hope you got some digits out of the deal.)
