Fave Five: Slamming It!

Nothing soothes the spirit quite like a good love poem, regardless of the type of poem or any other such evaluation criteria. When you hear or read it, be it with a happy or sad ending, you can never ignore the likeness of emotion, the feeling of knowing, or rather identifying, there is a melody acquired from well-constructed metaphors and similes. The captive pleasure contained within a broken heart and the dancing clatters of a new romance.
A beautiful word has always resonated within me, what more of a bunch of beautiful words strung together to illustrate meaning and familiar emotional stances.

I’ve been watching a lot of American slam poetry on YouTube of late and on this post I list my fave five poets and poems, here goes:

5.            Dear Ex-lover by Jasmine Mans


4.            A lot Like You by Rudy Francisco


3.            40 Love Letters by Jeanann Verlee


2.            I Will Wait For You by Janette Ikz



1.            Before Bed by Zora Howard
