Poetry Reading: Open Mic - Poetry in Motion, Thursday, March 13, 2025

Here’s three brand new poems from me at the regular Poetry in Motion open mic at the Fringe Bar in Wellington.Where all of last year and even into early this year I have been rehearsing and showcasing material from The Richard Poems, this was my first time in years reading brand new material. So the three poems captured here are being read for the very first time.They are called Worlds Colliding, Ex/Terminate and Shake What Ya Mama Gave You. In the case of Ex/Terminate, I haven’t even uploaded it to Substack, but you can read Worlds Colliding — — and Shake What Ya Mama Gave You — — you know, for those that like to read along at home.Anyway, new poems, the start of reading new poems out and about again hopefully. Let me know what you think.Thanks for reading Sounds Good! ! This post is public so feel free to share it.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.
