Tonight was one of the most enjoyable nights I've had in a while up here at school. We had a poetry slam: a few guys from the ward put together an amazing stage with lights, microphone, and music. It was well attended and poems read ranged from the silly to the humorous to the deeply profound. Rudyard Kipling, Invictus, Shel Silverstein - the gamut of emotions was arrayed there. We had a rousing performance of a wardmember using the lyrics of a popular song. He it was, in fact, who won the best performance.
What other collection of youth in the world would organically put together such an event? They had some books of poetry lying around and I found one I'd never heard before called "Regarding a Door" and read that. Overall a great night.
