Hi there Wordsmiths

My name is Bev. I'm currently living in Hanoi, Vietnam, teaching English. I have lived in several Asian countries, doing this over the years. I have often been inspired by my experiences and scribbled a poem here and there but haven't felt they were worthy of sharing. So, I've joined this space to read poetry and to learn by doing. A mentor once said to me : "Just show up!" "And so what, if you don't do it perfectly...it's better than not showing up at all!"

Hi Bev,

I am jealous of your opportunities for adventure in Asia. You must have a thousand stories.

That's a wise mentor you quote.

Welcome.
