Flash 55-Public Speaking

Looking for a place
A spot of blue
Where doubt weighs
Amidst the clouds
Nothing, the
Sun peeking out
All is possible
Though worry
Like dark clouds
Floats past my
Mind’s eye
Talking loudly
Thunder rumbling
As I laugh back
In the distance
The fear
Walking center
Stage
I speak from
My heart, and
Smile

    I'm told if you recite a poem in your head while speaking you won't shake. I may have to memorize yours and try it.

    The narcissist in me love the attention of public speaking. Guess that runs over into blogging as well.

    Brian--I agree--but I would like to be able to coexist with the butterflies a little bit netter;-)

    Picturing the sky like this would be helpful when speaking in front of a group. I picture myself as a cornstalk, still like that. It helps! :-)
