The Angry Seashore

The Angry Seashore The Angry Seashore Sneering at oil rigs. Cusses and waves frantically - Fearing tomorrow. Written for the "OIL SPILLED OUT ANGER!" contest FORMAT: Free Verse the since slam is no longer an accepted form for use on Poetry Soup. SLAM POETRY is PERFORMANCE Poetry. So imagine my performance. I am leaning forward toward the audience with a frown on my face as I recite line one. Then, as I step forward for line two, my facial expressionsl change from a frown to a very angry sneering look. Next, I start waving my arms slowly as I state the word "Cusses". Then, as I recite the rest of line three I wave my arms faster and pick up the speed of line delivery. Lastly, imagine that I am cowering my posture down with my face still looking at the audience, My body is turned sideways and I am pretending to bite my fingernails I have sad eyes and a fearful frown on my face. OK THAT'S THE PERFORMANCE...USE YOUR IMAGINATION. Smiles! © July 19, 2010
