The
Freshhhh
Heat
"Claimer":
What’s up,
everybody?!
And welcome to the
Freshhhh
Heat Teen
Poetry Lounge!
This is the only spoken
word
event in the city that showcases the
hottest
young poets spitting the type of innovative and creative speech
that only the youth can master! So when I say, “Keep it!” y’all
say, “Freshhhh!”
Keep it! _______ Keep it! _______ Now this is not a
disclaimer, because disclaimers only say what people are not
holding themselves responsible for. This is a “claimer.” It is
saying what we
embrace,
encourage,
require,
and
claim
to be our responsibility! Keep it! _______ Keep it!
_______
We
embrace
new
and
original
points of view and forms of expression, because this is the only
way that true
poetry
can grow.
Word?
_______ We encourage support from the audience and our fellow
poets,
because this is the only way that true
poetry
can remain true.
Word?
_______ We require the audience to respect the sensitivities of
the
poets
and for the
poets
to respect the sensibilities of the audience, because this is
the only way truth can be protected.
Word?
______
We
will create an unsafe space with hurtful language.
Word?
BOO!
We claim responsibility for appreciating the diversity of races,
religions, political philosophies, and lifestyles that will be
represented in our
poetry,
because it is just that,
OUR POETRY and anyone who reads is our fellow artist;
no matter what statement their art makes. Lastly, we invite
everyone here this evening to have a
freshhhh
and
hot
time! So keep it! ________ Keep it! _______ Keep it!
