The Minack Theatre This stage is carved out of the granite cliffs of Porthcurno, Cornwall |
“It's about that applause I want to speak to you. I want you to remember that when you've done a little dance or a song or sketch, the applause which you get is not only because you yourself have done your best, but because each of those men is seeing in you someone he loves at home, and because of you is able to forget for a little while ...” ― Noel Streatfeild, Theater Shoes
Welcome once again, dear friends, to The Tuesday Platform in the Imaginary Garden. Here is your opportunity to present your work in a supportive and artistic environment, and to become a member of the audience yourself, as you read the work of fellow poets. Our stage is a rare and precious thing.
That is indeed the soul of art Kerry--to present something personal that is also universal. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, friends!

ReplyDeleteTrying to write more poetry this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat an neat place. Never saw a theater that close to water.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty late linking to Sunday's challenge so I thought I'd pop in here, too. Happy Tuesday, all.
ReplyDeleteHey Kerry--thanks for all you do! k.
ReplyDeleteHello Kerry! I struggled with this one, but pushed through it~ Off to read the mini challenge poetry and then the stage offerings! I hope the sun is out in your world-it looks like night-in mine.
ReplyDeleteHey Kerry--I just wanted to say there is something quite moving about that quote--I'm guessing written about wartime--or maybe men at the mines--anyway, thanks. k.
ReplyDeleteHello friends, We are in the throes of a heatwave which has sucked the life out of me. Hopefully Wednesday will not be another 40C so that I can catch up on my reading!
