Any Ideas :idea:
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
! 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!!!

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.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Thanks! I'll check it out and get back to you!

"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Caroll would be quite entertaining if read in one's best Shakespearian voice.

What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.
- Gertrude Stein
A washerwoman with her basket; a rook; a red-hot poker; th purples and grey-greens of flowers: some common feeling which held the whole together.
- Virginia Woolf
Tam O' Shanter is always good when read correctly
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
Do any of you think 'the raven' by Edger Allen Poe would be good?

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
