As children we learn that poems are never
ending rhymes that catches our attention, but as we get older our expectations
of poems change. We learn that poetry can be your favorite rap song or your own
original work. Poems dare you to not only look but also read and comprehend the
vague allusions. Poems also help the mind reroute patterns by making us see the
familiar new. Some use poetry to ease their mind of relationship stress, peer
pressure, socio-economic issues and other things.
Here at TSU we have a poetry
club called Soul Fire, which is composed of both male and female students who
enjoy expressing their everyday lives through writing poems. Soul Fire is a
very welcoming group to those who want to regularly participate and those that
just want to stop by for a listen. On Wednesday’s at 5’oclock the group meets to
discuss upcoming performances, events, and even share their work. But be careful, because if your poem is
awesome the group members will throw things at your feet! Soul Fire’s first
performance of the semester is February 3, 2016 at TSU’s Soul Lounge. Be sure to come out to hear some great poetry
and if you want share some of your own.
We look forward to seeing new people and hearing your awesome work!
Soul Fire!
S-S-S-SOUL FIRE !
