Java Monkey

I went to a poetry reading tonight at Java Monkey in Downtown Decatur. It was a lot of fun. I even got up and read. I thought people had to sign up in advance (which some people do) but they had space on the list so I read a poem entitled "Ode to the Blank Page." It was fun. I was nervous, but the crowd was very friendly. Really I was amazed at the diversity of the people there. I think it's refreshing to know that poetry is alive and well. I definitely want to go back. Java Monkey has poetry every Sunday at 8pm. Check it out.
