Poetry

Last night, I volunteered at a poetry event to raise money for, W.H.E.A.T. (West Haven Emergency Assistance Task force). The event was put on by the Connecticut Poetry Society. The fund raiser was held in an art gallery.
Of all the poems read there were some poetry styles that I would like to try: hint poetry and list poems. The poet reading the hint poem said that hint poetry is defined as a poem that is less than 25 words with a moving title. The title is not included in the word count and the title is very important in the discovery of the poem. The list poems performed were both fun and witty, one was just a list of movie titles. However, when read together, it told a story. There was another list poem about nicknames. Entwined with the list of nicknames, were short humors leads to the rest of the poem.

Poems to come :)
