Word Forward would like to extend special thanks to the Slam Organising Committee, the Blu Jaz Café, and to Jasbir John Singh for giving us such an excellent idea for a slam theme: Blue Poem The Blue Man Slam met great success, The poets all fared well. Thematic blue - three minutes or less - bluebell to blue bombshell. From indigo to violet, And lapis lazuli, The poets with a blue mind set Wrote blue so skilfully. Blue emotions rose and fell, Blue voices waxed and waned, Five judges’ boards unleashed blue hell, Blue cheering was unchained. One night in Singapore Blue rose, blue moon, blue kite, blue woman, man, and blue amour. We left with blue delight. So, next month, last Thursday? Fresh poems on the programme. Join us at eight - Blu Jaz Cafe for the Foodarama Slam. Miran Ng is one of the new Singapore Poetry Slam Crew Members, along with Ajay Menon, Kevin Wong, Jasbir Singh John, and Neha Tehuja.  A Slam Crew meeting at the Writers Centre, Singapore with Miran Ng (L), Chris Mooney-Singh (C), and Ajay Menon (R).  |
