Thanks for being a part of our first poetry show. We just left the show at Thin Air, and we were moved beyond words by everyone we saw.
We is my two friends and I. We’re all slightly (very) nerdy, geeky, and we bonded over poetry. Performance poetry.
Seeing a performance of poetry was enjoyable and inspiring and a bunch of other words I’d have to whip out the thesaurus to give you. I guess thank you will have to be enough.
Thanks for the kind words! Next time come up and introduce yourself!
