Gestures & Thoughts

Poetry Slam Reflection

I had never been to a poetry slam, let alone know what a poetry slam was. I was really nervous to present my poem to the class because I was kinda insecure about it not being good enough. After a few people presented, I started to get calmer because I realized that they too were also nervous of presenting to the class. After I presented, I felt like a huge weight got lifted off my shoulders and I just enjoyed the rest of my classmates' poems. Everyone always cheered and they gave constructive criticism. Overall, I enjoyed this poetry slam.
