This time I've put in the text version and the audio file. I'm not sure which way it works better this time. The title translates to "The old people/old ones ( have ) spoken to me about miracles".
As you may or may not know ( you should ), my poetry is meant to be slammed. This is the audio version of the poem I posted before about my sister. No, the name of the file is not a new title, it's just her name.
This is the first time I've written something like... erm, this. To those of you who know me IRL, it's not what you think! In light of this, a small warning ( which I'm sure you'll all ignore ) : adult themes.
I made this for my stepsister whom I don't see much anymore when I found out she was queer. More importantly, that her homophobic parents found out too. Her name means "happiness" in Spanish.
And the other one I was working on for ages. Finished at last. My next submissions will be the audio version of these last two writes. If you didn't see my last write, I'm using my "natural" format from now on ( more info inside ). Enjoy. (:
FINALLY finished something. After three month's worth of Writer's Block. Hope you enjoy ( you'd better! ). I'll post an audio version when I get it recorded. Again, this is a slam.
Most of the poetry I write is meant to be performed as a slam poem, and I think seeing it written really deadens it. So I managed to make a sound file out of one of my writes. See what you think!
I wish I could put into words how well this went over when I slammed it. I hope it will still be almost as good written. As usual, written in an attempt to show how it's supposed to "sound"...
This is another slam. Kind of incorporates a lot of different emotions and concepts, as well as different hypothetical situations. As usual, the punctuation is just to give an idea of how it sounds like.
In February, I posted a couple poems, one of which I was to read at a slam ( which, I might add, went over horribly ). I did not, however, post the second that was to be read, and here it is now, 43 days later, by popular request ( by which I mean, Twill's request ).
So that last one was really... angry. Yes it was real life. Yes, I'm fine now for the most part. Here's the second one --- it's probably the more personal of the two, and the other one was pretty personal to begin with. Again, keep in mind these are meant to be performed. Thus, there are actions and alternative uses of punctuation.
I know I haven't been on for a couple eternities and I'm sorry, blame school projects and a proclivity towards poor organization... anyways. I need to decide upon one out of two slam poems ( meaning they're more meant to be PERFORMED... just a note ) to go with another one I've already chosen. Any help? Here's the first one.
