acapella: the bnu poetry jam
…we had the rock, now let’s have the roll.
a bnu poetry jam (to end all poetry jams?)
the real birth of the bnu voice;
not only sonorous as you proved only moonlights ago,
filled to the brim with lyrics and love and music, and
poetry and life, drama and stage presence,
in this lalaland we want to continue to live in,
for ever, if only we could.
just so you can play all our sweet games, our guitars, our readings and writings,
continue singing your own songs, with all your substance, and to your whims;
but, let’s just do this one acapella; sans music; for just the poetry of it.
this is the first call out to you to let your voices be heard;
short prose, within 800 or so words welcome for a reading too.
read your own poetry or (very) short stories, or someone else’s, just read:
move us from this abyss, even if just for one bit.
step up and be heard. your voice
matters more than it ever has, and more than you ever thought it could.
This works fine the way it is though my suggestion would be to simplify the language a bit. ’sans’ and ‘acapella’ and the like, though might be simple words to some, for most they are difficult. make it as public friendly as possible.
“…we had the rock, now let’s have the roll.” I like!
Btw, when is this? I thought it was this Thursday. But Ma’am Kyla wanted to delay it, so wen is it FINALLY?
this is still meeting with resistance for jo bhi reasons. laikin im thinking another plan, we’ll have to talk. i did fix it a bit, but before fixing it more, ab i’m thinking maybe just to go for another kind of event to pave the way for something like this. will need everyone’s backing.
