Poetry

I love poetry, beyond what we are taught in education because it is a whole other world. From the greats to the lesser known modern poets, there is certainly something for everyone.
I write poetry and have been writing for 6/7 years now, starting with acrostics and now writing sonnets, bops and sexatinas etc. The performance of poetry is even better as it can be entertaining and sometimes really enlightening. I personally am a part of The Roundhouse Poets, who regularly perform and some of the poets are established and slowly gaining recognition for their work. The group have a vast range of poetic styles for example there is an amazing MC (Kaz Dela Kazie) to the audience participation poet (Bayan). The mentor is the amazing Jacob Sam La Rose, who is also a web designer and photographer as well as an established international poet. He encourages us to experiment with the different forms and to not rely on cliches. These classes run at the Roundhouse, Camden for 13 to 25(?) year old on a Friday night (7 till 9pm) for 10 weeks a term.
