Saw a pretty good poet as one of Kate Tempest’s support acts at the weekend. She also began her set with 20 mins of various poems from across her work all interwoven and set against a violin and swirling synths - was utterly captivating.

Poetry should rhyme, otherwise it’s just a bunch of words.

Same with songs. Don’t need to rhyme.

Poetry’s just songs without the music.

I’ve been working with a poet for the last few months, she’s finally got some of it on youtube so here you go, be nice

(I am Mischievous Wisdom so naturally this a lil’ bit jaggy)

I write spoken word stuff, I went to a workshop where we wrote haiku’s, was interesting cos there’s way more rules than you might expect. This one doesn’t follow 100% of the rules and is called Panic Attack

convinced i’m dying
stumble to find my parents
oh i am naked
