This scares me. Not the poem or Ms Pacman, but the fact that I have a live recording of my work that I can share on the internet.
So, this was a poem I wrote for a special Geek-themed variety night I was part of last year. It’s one of the few poems I’ve memorised, and a bit of a staple in my sets. Does this mean I’m going to retire it any time soon? No, it’s comedy gold (I’m not up myself, I swear). I hope you enjoy!
So, back in January, I did a bit of a performance thing with a night called “From The Horse’s Mouth” based out of Summerhall in Edinburgh. After a couple of drinks and friendly chats with the people behind the night, I discovered that they really liked one particular poem I had performed and now, they’ve only gone and published it on their website!
It’s a wonderful, tingly feeling! I’m hoping this is part of a shiny, new, upward direction for this whole poetry thing. They’ve also done some some lovely audio recordings, including a poem which might be the first poem I do a video recording of (because it’s one of the two poem’s I’ve memorised. The other poem I’ve memorised is called “Amnesia” and the irony is not lost on me.) But please check them out, there’s also a fantastic poem by my new favourite poet, Amelia Watson, who is pretty damn fantastic and definitely one to watch!
