#PoetryWednesday – “Aladdin’s lamp”

Spoken Word Thursday (New Year’s edition): Eric Darby’s “Scratch and Dent Dreams”
I cannot think of any better way to enter the new year than to listen to Eric Darby’s performance of “Scratch and Dent Dreams” from the 2005 National Poetry Slam Individual Semifinals. If you’ve seen this before you already know that it’s tremendous!

Reblog Tuesday: Chelsea Coreen’s “The Patron Saint of Drunk Girls at Homecoming Dances” @chelseacoreen
During my weekly spin through the poetry blogosphere I was happy to come across the site of Chelsea Coreen (link below) and in doing so was struck by her poem “The Patron Saint of Drunk Girls at Homecoming Dances” – first, because the title is provocative and then because the work itself is wonderful. Here it…
Spoken Word Thursday (weekend edition): “Resurrection” by #DylanGarity from @ButtonPoetry
Due to Christmas we skipped over Spoken Word Thursday, so this week we have a special weekend edition. This is a very powerful and thought-provoking piece by Dylan Garity called “Resurrection” – enjoy. “Jesus was not resurrected by God, he was brought back by people who told his stories.”
Reblog Tuesday: a Christmas-tinted poem by @nicolepasq titled “She unfolded” at @TipsyLit
Although not really a Christmas poem, since this piece mentions Christmas, and is a great read, I’m counting it! We have visited Tipsy Lit before – a lot of great stuff over there! Also, we have featured Nicole Marie in the past and I’m sure we will again – I really like her work. http://tipsylit.com/2014/12/20/she-unfolded/
Poetry / “Abandoned funhouse mirror maze”
Abandoned funhouse mirror maze I’d been in need of something sturdy to stand next to because your kiss was so violent that it bruised and had purpose but that was before now and after then and I know why you had to leave Now I have empty buckets filled with blank letters that I’ve wanted…
Spoken Word Thursday: Shane Koyczan’s ‘Heaven, or Whatever’ @Koyczan
Shane Koyczan,once again, nails it, which is why he’s back for this week’s Spoken Word Thursday. With ‘Heaven, or Whatever’ he once again nails it as this is funny, sad, thought-provoking, and well worth the few minutes it takes to watch – personally this week I’ve watched it at least a half dozen times. Enjoy!
