As for the shoes, I searched several places and finally found a pair just before the shops closed that went with all three, a tan pair of sandals. And they were four and a half inches high. Being as tiny as I am I need all the height I can get.<br /><br />Thanks Carol Ann, I did find the perfect shoes, thank goodness. Or at least perfect for what I could find after only one day's search. And I love Keats too. I wonder what a slam where the poets performed works by Keats or Rumi would be like? Guess it wouldn't be a slam in that case.<br /><br />Beth - Your welcome, I always look forward to reading your new works. I will post the shoes, I swear! Tonight or tomorrow morning. <br /><br />Kirie - I did see non typical slam poets when I went to The Starry Plough a while ago. Older poets who talked about love & dancing without bringing anger or self righteousness into it. So maybe, as most slam poets grow older, the tone of slams will evolve with them.<br />And with the growing popularity of open mic nights and literary nights in bars, cafes and so on poetry will become a bigger part of pop culture and daily life. I hope so.<br /><br />Will definitely post my shoes!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-59830754685861165762009-04-19T08:31:00.000-07:002009-04-19T08:31:00.000-07:00Cheryl, I like poetry reading events, slams includ...Cheryl, I like poetry reading events, slams included, but I am so with you on the attitude of the slam. There's something about the cadence of the way poems are read at a slam that really grates one me, too. I think the whole culture of the slam is cliquish, and that just seems antithetical to art. <br />Sometimes I wonder if more average people could discover poetry outside of its stereotyped categories (slam, high-school-must-study, Hallmarky-sing-song)--perhaps it would be something more people could actively engage. Just a dream I have....<br /><br />And on a lighter note (with no complaint)--love to see what you choose on the outfit!<br /><br />KirieKiriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253821778906908627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-88591507725891397972009-04-19T07:42:00.000-07:002009-04-19T07:42:00.000-07:00I want to see the shoes!

About slam poets, I love the energy and new rhythms coming right out of rap music, sometimes the anger is overwhelming. Keep writing and I hope you post a pic of those shoes.bluebethleyhttp://bethandwriting.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-9097929522096620282009-04-18T00:54:00.000-07:002009-04-18T00:54:00.000-07:00We share the same needs in our taste for poetry.

Hmmm.<br />2) Haiku rules<br />3) "Fine, on to other things..."
