I'm participating in my first GPP crusade - Rock Star moment!
My Rock Star moment happened way back in 1984 when I was 15 years old. The big teenage magazine was DOLLY. They had one page towards the back that was for poetry. As I enjoyed writing poetry I thought I would try my luck and send in a few poems that I had written. I had two that I really liked but thought it would be best to send three and so added another poem that I thought was only OK. It was this third poem that they decided to publish! Receiving the letter was exciting but the real thrill came after the magazine came out. Being a teenager at an all-girl school and susceptible to what your peers think, it was really big when the response was how they liked it and thought it was cool to get published! Although I probably didn't admit it at the time it was a real high. "How Cool is That!"!!!
So I guess this post wouldn't be complete without the poem....
Title: What Happens After?
Will the birds still sing?
Will the leaves still fall?
Will you still write?
or will you still call?
Will you still love me?
Will you still care?
Who can I turn to
when you're not there?
Will the sun still shine?
Will the wind still blow?
Will all this happen
when you go?
There have been other big Rock Star moments in my life but I'll leave it there for now.
