man I hope I do not crash my site again. I am doing this in stages so you may see some odd stuff in the next few weeks. These are the photos I took t the Slam with my brand new toy. I am having to remove the date stamp off of most the stuff cause i did not even know I had one. Learning more Photoshop and Paint stuff. I think once I learn how to use it this camera will be great. |

More Haiku Competition Pics
I enjoyed the Haiku stuff a lot more than I would have expected. |

Usually haiku are written in three lines. It's possible to do
haiku in 2 lines though, as well as in one line or in more than
three.5-7-5 syllables in 1st-2nd-3d lines.

This is Logic, he won the Haiku competition.
I disagree. But I do not know all the forms and rules of Haiku so I might just not get it. I just did not like his stuff as much. |

More Haiku,
|
|
|
Some of them were funny and some of them were very sad.
There were a few Polictical Haiku also. |
|
Have you noticed the headbands? There were Red and Not Red headbands and flags. That is how the judges voted. |
|
|
The Haiku comp was very ritualistic.But I do not know how much of that was traditional and how much was slam invented.

|
I don't know why but I love this shot. I want to make a t-shirt out of it.

More shots from the semi-finals
Nothing against the individual stuff, I liked it a lot; but my favorite performances were the group pieces. |
|
Nuther Group
if I was good, and I am not, I would know where they were from, but I don't. |

|
I really liked this shot I don't have a real specific reason. |

Some of the poets were just basically screamers
but others had a lot of personality to their readings. |
