Poem #1- Scratch and Dent Dreams. From this Poem, I got such a strong realization of what can really make you happy in life. This poem was a story of how all the little things mean so much and how much their worth. It also is a great example of how slam poems don't have to be complex, they can be simple themes, with deep, underlined meanings.
Poem#2- Touchscreen, Marshal Davis Jones. This poem was all about how our feelings,life's,and relationships revolve around technology and why it's so bad for us. He does a great job of making me personally feel like I need more face to face time with people and I don't even have a Facebook. It was a fantastic display of the truth and how it we, as people, need to get back to what really matters.
Poem #2- I'm Taking my Ball and Going Home(Scott). This poem was about the harsh reality of being a social outcast. It also portrayed the importance of telling people the little things that matter in life and being their when no one else is. The poet makes it very clear that outcasts in society are shunned and he debates it through an underlined metaphor.
