Below, you'll find all the poems performed during the event:
1- @Bruce performed Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
“I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read—”
2- @simbadlemarin_ performed The emissary of death by Anthony (@simbadlemarin_)
“Imagine this…
You finally decide to take a vacation in Madagascar.
Why?
Because a very charming guy from there that you met on discord — maybe too charming to
be true — kept telling you how beautiful his country is.
He said it with such warmth, such conviction, that you gave in. You packed your bags and
went to Madagascar.
And once you landed, it felt like stepping into another world—”
3- @taha performed The Impossible Girl by Taha (@taha)
“Between a yesterday that has passed…
And a tomorrow that has dawned…
I contemplated myself… Night after night…
Drowning in the seas of my thoughts…
Searching here and there…
Crying out loud…—”
4- @whyamilikethis performed Bluebird by Charles Bukowski
“there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.—”
5- @Sergio performed The road not taken by Robert Frost
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth—”
6- @marine_0204 performed Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost
“Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.—”
@marine_0204 performed Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou
“Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,.—”
7- @25 performed The Full Poem of Relief by Qasidah al‑Munfarijah
“Get worse, O trouble, so that you may be lifted,
For your night has announced the breaking of the dawn.
And even the darkness of the night has its gleams,
Until the father of these gleams overwhelms them.
And the dark clouds of bounty carry rain,—”
8- @aarya57 performed The Heart is Brittle by @MrChudak (Gleb)
“The heart is brittle
And emotions are pernicious,
Quotidian meet was a riddle,
Revenge is often delicious.
Fluctuate feelings are your rifle,
This is a famous fact!
Offence is not a trifle,
Who doesn't know that?
The love is persistent,
Believe me! It's true!
You can't just abrogate that,
I know, it's important for you”
9- @Mikozz performed - by -
“You know what I heard about Amy?
Amy likes spiders.
Icky, wriggly, hairy, ugly spiders!
That's why I'm not friends with her.
Amy has a cute singing voice.
I heard her singing my favorite love song.
Every time she sang the chorus, my heart would
pound to the rhythm of the words.
But she likes spiders.
That's why I'm not friends with her.
One time, I hurt my leg really bad.
Amy helped me up and took me to the nurse.
I tried not to let her touch me.
She likes spiders, so her hands are probably gross.
That's why I'm not friends with her.
Amy has a lot of friends.
I always see her talking to people.
She probably talks about spiders.
What if her friends start to like spiders too?
That's why I'm not friends with her.
It doesn't matter if she has other hobbies.
It doesn't matter if she keeps it private.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone.
It's gross.
She's gross.
The world is better off without spider lovers.
And I'm gonna tell everyone.”
10- @Creative_creature performed - by -
“We met back in September, and now May is near...
Yeah, it's the end, as our paths diverge from here.
They say, "No worries, we'll meet in another life, dear."
Will I find such friends again, to hold so very near?
Will such blossoms ever again in my garden appear?
If I stumble and fall, will these same hands be there to cheer?—”
11- @aarya57 performed Healing by Nayo Jones
“I had a therapist tell me once,
it was ironic how much love I gave out
cuz I didn’t give much to myself.
She laughed,
like self-love was a sick joke.
I chuckled
and cried at home. —”
