Spoken Word Poetry.

So, I finally joined my school's creative writing club, which I have been avoiding doing because I was afraid of being judged by my peers.
With that self-conscious bullshit aside, I will move on with the story.
I am not a poet; many of you who follow my blog may have assumed that because I never post poetry. I have never been good at writing poetry, however much I love to read it, and because of that, I had given up all hope of being able to be a poet on the side.
But, back to creative writing club. We have a "theme," if you will, every week and last week's was spoken word poetry. I had never heard of spoken word before, except from my friend Maggie. To say that I was dreading writing spoken word would be an understatement.
But I wrote something that resembled poetry and I spoke it in front of the group and I fell in freaking love.
I have been watching videos of spoken word and writing it and thinking about it every day since.
If you're looking for a new art form, you should definitely check out spoken word. It's indescribable.
