we came up to St. Paul for the National Poetry Slam competition, and to support our Texas family. what an incredible week hanging with friends, laughing, drinking, eating, drinking, partying, dancing, drinking...oh did i mention poets love to drink...lol yes we did. some of the best poets never hit the stage, but heard in intimate circles, we poets like to call cyphers where anything and everything goes...bongos, trumpets, prayer, humming, wedding parties lol, yes wedding parties, singing, words words words...beautiful people sharing with one another without the egos or the competition.
now don't get me wrong, we did hear some unbelievable words all week...and our home base poetry slam family, Austin NeoSoul, fought long and hard, made it to the final stage...4th place overall....out of 76 teams i believe, so yeah much props to them.
It was a bit different being part of the entourage and not personally on the team...different perspective, but oh how i want to slam again for the team...yes i will.
