Spoken word poetry workshop

A few months ago, I had the privilege of joining the Sixth Form performing arts students in the class on spoken word poetry. And I was extremely thrilled about it. I have been wanting to try spoken word poetry since I was in primary school, so I obviously couldn’t possibly pass this chance up. Rhiannon, the published poet who came in, threw out great starters and prompts for us to create from and I love how even though everybody is inspired by mostly the same things, yet everyone’s work is unique. Hearing the compliments of others on your work always makes you have more motivation to create more pieces, and I have to thank everyone in that room for being supportive (however, if you did judge silently please don’t ever tell me). And now I have so much motivation to create more pieces of poetry or stories and share it with the world.
