The poem that I used for the Poetry Reading Competition was loaded with a surprise. It began: One day while walking along the wharf I met a friend who was short and fat. Everything went smoothly while I was narrating and creating background scenery. Our conversation was interrupted by a short, piercing scream. When the narration ended, I stopped being polit'. In order to create atmosphere, I had to employ dialect. How does a poet describe the look someone gives if he looks at you 'like some las' year cow'? What is the difference between 'snitch' and steal? After the details of the conflict, there was a resolution. The victim sought legal redress. 'Wha he did ta me, he mighta don' ta odders Causin' ha'd feelings twixt sisters an' brudders'. A court is a formal setting; and so is the speech there. The judges, according to my professor, could not pinpoint what made the poem a second prize winner; but they had to concede victory. There was a tie for second place. People just like what in my backyard! |
