They did though warm up somewhat when I tapped my folder telling them that there were some poems that I had been asked not read. They responded full of enthusiasm then but I said "No the powers that be are afraid of you people becoming too wired up! " and that broke the ice.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-88728974739166350862014-10-06T18:44:19.654+01:002014-10-06T18:44:19.654+01:00What a wonderful building ….. the perfect place fo...What a wonderful building ….. the perfect place for a poetry reading and good acoustics I imagine. The 16 year olds seem to be entering into the spirit of it all which is sometimes unusual for 16 year olds !!!! ….. your poetry obviously got through to them Heron. It must be lovely for you to bring your work to others as well.
