Ask any questions about the spoken word poetry event here!

hi!! can you read your own poem, or should it be someone else's?

Are we allowed to read a poem written by us in the past or should the poem be written solely for the purpose?

Great question @MomoMajesty! You definitely can read your own poem, and in fact, it has to be your
own poem - the challenge is to write and record a poem for the event! So to answer @ForeverYoung299's question, as well, the poem has to be written for the purpose of this event, and cannot be one that was previously written. Hope that makes sense! ^^

there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return
