A poetry slam is open to the public people gather and have a slam you sign up to compete. everyone is given a topic and you have 5 minutes to write a poem on that topic. then each person stand at the mic and reads performing the
poem they wrote to the judges and audience. audience cheers for their fav.
there is usualy 3 rounds ... 3 topics . at the end the judges and audience picks the best 3 or 4 people. I just did my second slam this December... was a BLAST!!!!
I LOVE THE LINE YOU HAVE "CAT CUDDLES MY ANKLE PURRS! "
beautiful image and sound pop right into mind ...real poetic, great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAG FRANK.... SEA SHELLS.

sorry been feeling ill the last few days

laughing children run to and fro,
what they are doing no one knows,
playing, skipping and digging in the sand,
running to me showing me their hands,
filled with precious gifts they not know
to them they are diamonds, gems and golden bells,
yet to me they are just sea shells....

sorry took me so long not doing well here

I tag anyone who wants to join in
subject;;; school days;;;

School days-- BMW--
Yellow bus, crayons, finger paint,
Nap time and recess by the gate.

Spelling words lunch line,
Passing grade makes you shine.

Term papers, hall pass,
Never caught skipping class.

Passing notes, endless laughter
Kissing boys all the girls chased after.

Track team state champs one year
Thanks to this hurdle jumper here.

Graduation pranks well played,
My school days will never fade.
================================================== =======

topic is COLORS

the spectrum hits your eyes
leaving you mesmorized

yellow blue and green
red violet all can be seen

it arches across the sky
a rainbow so high

the sun shines after the storm
like a new day being born

sliding down the rainbow
to the pot of gold i go

enjoy the spledor sisters and brothers
enjoy the many splendid colors

I tag gladys or anyone that wants to join in
subject

MILKSHAKES

LOL SORRY THATS MY DIET FOR A FEW DAYS

MILKSHAKES

Such a yummy treat
vanilla, chocolate, strawberry
tastes so good to me

creamy and smooth
in the tall vaseshaped glass
the kind you find at the local ice cream stand

milk and ice cream
quite the combination

Now I'm over here
wanting my libation!!



{short and silly...babes are calling for me }

Next Tag: Thunderstorms

how do i do tag? i have never done this before. but love poems.

For this forum, tag works as such....


One person writes a poem that is mentioned TAG. It's an 'on-the-spot' poem. Then once finished, come up with a new TAG.

If you notice, Frank tagged Milkshakes, I wrote a poem for Milkshakes and have left a tag for Thunderstorms.

{The bigger concept was that Tag is ideally done in chat, but due to time constraints, we are settling for this board } Hope that helps! We are excited to add more players

One colour is red,
one colour is blue,
one's for me
one's for you.

one colour is black
one colour is white
one is for day
and one is for night.
