billowing within
notes of longing flow in sync
with love’s earnest needs.
elevate the words
they hold tightly as anchors
for melody’s lure
take me here softly
lay me down to the music
slowly, in good time.
Wham! Bam! Thank you, Ma’am
Get on the floor for the poetry slam
Don’t be shy and don’t ask why
Just find your rhyme and jam.
Everyone’s got a bit of poesy
Running through their veins.
Sing it or swing it or talk it out
Make a noise, a joyful, raucous
Boisterous poetic contribution
Shout it from the tallest tower
Forget your grown up hang ups
Hang a left at the corner of meter
Where Iambic pentameter plays
And dissonance, resonance, even
Romantic persuasion hold sway.
Pour out your heart and find your soul
Rock and roll and take no prisoners.
Peace, people.
I’d love to be part of a poetry slam. Even if it scares me to death!
