THEME: MEMORIZED POEMS, getting right by rote. Poems can be two-liner ala Ogden Nash, limericks, sonnets, free verse, rhyme (perhaps, Robert Service), rap, and any other kind (epic Iliad anyone?). Before writing there was a tradition of telling tales and giving information, painting pictures by speaking. So, pick one or two poems, get comfortable with it/them, and start talking.
MC: Michael DeMarco
