dVersepoets Prompt – Translucent Poetics: Writing Spoken Words
hosted by claudia schoenfeld and ami mattison
ami, a spoken word poet artist, describes how spoken word poetry differs from traditionally expected written poetry :
excerpt,
“Spoken word is intended for a listening audience. Thus, it must somehow manage to speak itself in a way that makes its various images and metaphors easily apparent, or accessible, to any listener and not necessarily to someone “schooled” in poetry or even spoken word…
“translucency, or poetic transparency is a key element of spoken word poetry….”
ami goes on to of course acknowledge similarities, but then progresses to describe the use of first person narrative to achieve success, ie, communication, with a live audience
as a person who has done a touch of community theatre, and a few years of summer outdoor amphitheater work in galveston, i can relate to how much it must mean to ami to do this type of poetry
maybe one day i’ll merge that old interest of mine with this old interest of mine 😉

I Spoke My Mind, Kinda
so i said, you gotta be…
and she cut me off
like a third arm
with no sleeve
to fit in
you’d think cause i smiled and
nodded my head she’d
cut me some slack
but all she kept saying was
“you told me you loved her, you
told me you loved her! you’d protect
her!”
i do i did i told her again, again each
time she said “you told me you
loved her!”
how could i tell her her cat and my
cat turned out made for each
other
love ain’t something i plan you know…
