"Closed Mic" - A Poem

Ahem...
Mic check
One, two
One, two
I practiced the song
I meant to perform
For you
I chose carefully
I was going to do it today
But on the first take
The camera was facing the wrong way
Most of the other attempts
My fingers fumbled
On the frets
It's like when I get rusty
My whole hand just forgets
And then when I finally thought
I might just get it right
I forgot the rest of the lyrics
So I called it a night


So... I had plans of entering Hive Open Mic this week. I haven't participated in any since back when it was not Hive so this would have technically been my first. Things did not go as planned 😅. I haven't been singing regularly in general, I've only recently started trying to play guitar again and I haven't made a video in forever so I wasn't able to make it all come together quite as easily as I hoped.

On the bright side, I WILL try again next week and use what I learned from this week's botched attempt to improve my chances of making a video I can submit.

Peace ☮️.
