:D I am on a Forensics team. I do the poetry event. I have 6-10 minutes to read poems with feeling and emotion. Atleast enough emotion to have me place:lol: ! Well, a new season will be starting soon, and I need a new piece. So, if there are any poems you know (LONG OR SHORT) tell me. Please and Thank You.
I never placed before in forensics. I am okay, but I need a piece that suits me. So tell me any poem that you think will be good. THANKS AGAIN!!!:D
Beowulf maybe? It's an epic and written from a third-person (I think that's right, I always get mixed up) perspective but it can be read with a great deal of feeling.
Thanks! I'll check it out and get back to you!
I hope it works!
I there any othr Ideas!?!?
"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Caroll would be quite entertaining if read in one's best Shakespearian voice.
Tam O' Shanter is always good when read correctly
Do any of you think 'the raven' by Edger Allen Poe would be good?
forensics in starting back up so I need to know ifanybody else knows of a good poem short or long that I can present
Ps thanks all for the poems I really like the Jaberwocky on and beowulf
From what I've heard from my forensics friends, is that everybody does the raven, everybody does the jabberwocky, and that it's better to get a random/odd/not well known poem (that's still good) instead (although, I love both the jabberwocky and the raven).
With that in mind, I'm going to give you some totally unrandom poems that I like/have heard of, just because I like/have heard of them ;). I've "heard" that "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Tennyson is good. I love Eldorado by Poe (although it's rather short). Erm, I like Blake's "The Tyger".
Umm, I'm sorry, but I'm not a poetry expert, so I can't think of any random poems (of course, if they were truely random, that would be the point ;) )
Perhaps this poem is too long for your purpose but Poe's "Ulalume" would be a great recital. posting #402 http://www.online-literature.com/for...hlight=Ulalume
