It was so much fun to sit among the second-hand (sometime third- and fourth-hand) items that lined every inch of the store. You could not help but be inspired. I jotted down an idea for a poem during the reading.
What I love about the Improbable tour is that community members who would never read a poem much less attend a reading bring a poem they've just written. There are usually a few first-time readers in the audience. Even my kids read original poems last night!
Kudos to Colleen Michaels for being the conductor of this poetry train!
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera but a snapped a few pictures with my trusty iPhone.

Items sold in the thrift store go to benefit Beverly Bootstraps.
