Once you've done it, there's nothing quite like getting it out and showing it to people, is there?
Of course I'm referring to writing a poem...
People who take advantage of the WORD UP! open mike spot and air their poems in front of the discerning and attentive CELLAR BAR audience can also now feature their poems on this here BLOG so the whole wide world can read them!
How?
Give us a copy of your poem, either in person on the night (preferably typed), or you can email it to jimboharwood@gmail.com (title your email wordup poem) and if you wish to include a jpeg photo of yourself so much the better!
