So I did it! I slammed with the best of them Thursday night... There was some fierce competition but I held my own. I didn't win but I showed out and I think I got a few people's attention. I really enjoyed hearing some of the other poets because I felt as if it really was some of the greatest that S. Fla has to offer. One thing that kind of thru me off was the judges response to the poet Jash Sa-Ra. His lines were very clever, but maybe too clever. It looks like it took them a few minutes to get the joke... I'm not saying they were slow, he may have just been too fast for they ass. It sucks to be misunderstood, sometimes. I think the only reason why some people even listen to me is because I say muuuu phucka a lot. There is a draw back to using so much filthy language. Some folks find it to be unbecoming of a lady. All I can say to that is "I am such a phucking lady!" My ability to successfully curse a drunk sailor under the table in no way disables my etiquette and divine since of time and place.
Okay... I way off subject! Back to the slam... The winner was Da Youngsta and he was very deserving of the victory. I think he may have even received a standing ovation. His peace was beautiful.
I am very proud of myself for competing and I think that if my hectic personal life permits I will be making VANDV my new home. If you are truly interested in experience South Florida's finest organic and creative poetic experience then I suggest you do the same. Next month's subject is fairy tales and fables. I am already penning somethings but I have been also examining cultural storytelling styles from all over the world to broaden my skills. I wonder how it's gonna come out. If it's wack, then I will only be on the open mic. We shall see...
Until next time... I'll holla at ya'll folks laterz...
