We did the poetry slam today. I have to say that I wasn't looking forward to participating. I worked for over an hour trying to figure out what I wanted to say and how to say it, even you-tubed some slam poets to refresh my memory. The first one I started was full of straight out anger. After texting with Megan I decided to scrap it and try some sarcastic humor. I had the same problem as last semester in Eng 110, what to write and how to say it. Ugh, I am an orator, not a writer. Stephanie and I struggled with my writing last semester, well she didn't struggle with it as much as I did. I'm glad the slam is over.
Going into today I couldn't wait to hear everyone's poems. It was not disappointing. Everyone did a great job. Some were thought provoking, others funny, some were just entertaining.
Even though I'm finished with my 1000 pages, I'm still reading. Nothing much else to do, well, except go back to knitting. I picked up a new book tonight at Kroger by Kathy Reichs called Devil Bones. Apparently the television series Bones was inspired by one of her books. Guess I will see how this one goes. After this, maybe some Nicholas Sparks. I like to vary my reading.

I think your 1,000 words was finished by the end of week one. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed very much your poem for the slam, btw.
Also, I didn't "struggle" with your writing, silly.
