The 'Poetry Slam' (mocktail) exclusive to Blue Jaz Cafe

In keeping with the foodie theme, the 'Poetry Slam', cocktail and mocktail launch at the Foodarama Slam this Thursday 8pm April 29 @ Blu Jaz Cafe. These speciality drinks have been custom-designed by the Blu Jaz bar wizards under the able stewardship of Anuj, the Blue Jaz manager. The 'Poetry Slam' tradition goes back to 2003 at the original Zouk Poetry Slam™ events, but now they have been wholly redesigned for the Singapore Poetry Slam clientele.
So what's in them? The attractively-priced cocktail ($11) includes berries, lime juice, hibiscus flower, mint, along with premium rum topped up with club soda, while the mocktail (S7.90) has an orange/pineapple base with club soda, garnished with rosemary and slices of fresh ginger. Come down to the slam and try them.

Blue Slam Poem by Miran Ng

6/13/2017

The Blue Man Slam is well-summed up by the poem below, penned by Miran Ng. 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.
