Wonderful Evening

I had a wonderful privilege last night. I was blessed to watch my favorite poet read her work. I didn't even have to travel that far as it happened at our local poetry group. Our group, Southeastern Minnesota Poets, meets the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm. We usually spend the first half hour or so taking care of whatever business we have, like dues, upcoming conventions, or art shows we'd like to take part in, and then we dive into the poetry reading. We take turns, round robin style, and usually go around to or three times so that everyone can share their latest masterpieces.

Last night, my favorite poet, Susan David, read two of the poems she wrote when we went to the Wood Tick Poetry Retreat last July. I so adore watching her read. She has the most darling look on her face and she pours so much emotion and imagery in such a small amount of space. It's a truly wonderful sight to behold.
