92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop. If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, post this wherever you can. DON'T LET ROCK 'N ROLL DIE!

Poetry Out Loud

Part 1
1. The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
2. Russel Market by Maurya Simon
3. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
4. Old Ironsides by Oliver Wendell Holmes, A Birthday by Christina Rossetti

Part 2
1. I liked The Charge of the Light Brigade the best.
2. I didn't like Russel Market because it didn't really make sense to me.
3. Probably The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
4. Well, one of my favorite bands, Iron Maiden, made a song called The Trooper, which is based off The Charge of the Light Brigade.

Part 3
1. Overall Performance and Accuracy I will have no problem with, as I can memorize things fairly quickly and I'm good at performing overall.
2. Physical Presence and Voice and Articulation are going to be some major roadblocks to reciting my poem. I get nervous fast and my voice starts to shake and sometimes my legs start doing a nervous twitch.

Part 4
I watched Kareem Sayegh recite Man-Moth by Elizabeth Bishop. I think he did a very good job, even though he mispronounced a word or two. I also watched Allison Strong recite Sonnet CXXX: My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun by William Shakespeare. She had very good articulation and made no mistakes in reciting the poem.

Part 5
I am not as nervous as I was when I first heard of this competition, but I'm still pretty nervous. I've never recited a poem longer then a couple lines before and I didn't have to memorize it so this is all new to me. I think my view on poetry has changed quite a bit so now I'm enjoying reading poetry.
