Slam Poetry
Thunderhead by Matt Shalvatis
I want to write (and perform) slam poetry,
to transform the anger and hurt and frustration in me
into beautiful words that hit the air with rhythm,
and slide away,
leaving only awe and ions in the air in their wake,
like the feeling after a summer thunderstorm,
but I've no bravery for performance,
and the words don't come like I wish they would;
so half a poem on the internet -
no rhyme, no meter, no rhythm -
is as far as it ever gets...
