At this cozy and rather petite coffee shop, there is a poetry reading night which I will be attending Wednesday evening. I am concerned because I am not sure which poem I should select from my blog to read there. The age-group level may include mostly adults, but anyone is allowed to go. Yi Nan isn't a big poetry writer, but her boyfriend Cheng is. They will be coming with me to participate. It gives me a little more courage.

Anyway... I'm thinking of Black Hole Flowers, because it is the best well-written... but then I love reading Farewell Angel aloud-- I am afraid they might be critics and consider my poetry too "free-style" for most of my poems do NOT have rhyming verses or are written in style. I am familiar with probably only half of the literary devices poets use and I rarely use them.

I am going to take a deep breath, maybe start a fresh poem, and hope I will gain some experience out of this event. :)
