I wrote this poem "There's a Place" about 30 years ago. I read it at our building's talent show a few weeks ago. It was a hit! Thunderous applause.
I have not read a poem in front of a crowd since I was 18. (I'm 75 now!)

ahhh you're still young .... wait 'til your 76!!!!
Very nice poem. Congrats getting out there and doing your poetry slam.
I'm 74. It is a meaningful look at life.
Congrats on getting out there again, and boy I feel like a youngen here at 50. My body don't agree however, it feels in the 80's, lol. I know I would be very rusty, and freaked out getting up in front of a school full of kids and teens when I was a police officer and talking about thatever topic I was told that wanted discussed and stressed.
I started out as a shy child. I'm very sensitive. I was harassed by bullies through much of my school life.
But there is a part of me who absolutely loves people and life in general.
This has been brought out by 4 years of living here,
Fabulous ! You guys are still young !
Enjoy your happy life !
