I just finished watching an HBO Special called "Brave New Voices." It was an hour of poetry and the pieces were simply wonderful. I cried during Chicago's final round. Anyways, it inspired me to write a piece like the teens in the program did.
These kids filled their piece with so much emotion and love, hate, respect that I wish that our town would hold a poetry competition like the Brave New Voices.
If you'd like to see any part of the program then Google "Brave New Voices" I recommend the finally, its the one with Chicago's poem.

"Stay calm... be brave... it's storytime."
Oh my..
Do you feel that?
It's me loving on you
and your hair
My hair feels much loved.
