A hindi poem. "Mahobat" by me.

English translation:

My heart had uttered to me

"This love shall destroy you"

But love set me free alive and ablaze

Yet it ended up destroying me

When her name lied in every melody

When my heart was out of it's condition

Because loving her was out of my limits

She set me free

Yet she caged me

But was caged always I

It was her who invented freedom to me

I remember the warmth of her hands

And her shiny eyes

But I made a mistake

In the Era of flings

I fell in love with her

Here's the one recording of myself reciting a poem I'd written earlier this year. Very much an anti-war poem, because that's what I am. We all, from every part of the world, need to stop wasting money on our own collective destruction.

Also, to clarify, my left vocal chord is paralyzed and that's why I sound like that.

Still haven't gotten over just how much I changed the atmosphere of the event with my poem, though. I'm also still getting used to the enthusiastic support for my poetry. But even now, it's already easier to share it.

So yeah, I'm really inching ever closer to going back to tiktok. Sharing myself here was probably always going to lead to that. And I'll probably upload this there, too, just because. When I inevitably redownload the app, at least. I might even do it before classes start.

P*yp*l, C*sh*pp.

Staging Poetry Mastery: Easy Tips for an Outstanding Performance

Shine on Stage: Proven Tips from a 30-Year Poetry Performance Veteran

Poetry, the art of expressing emotions through words, comes alive on stage. Performing poetry can be exciting and nerve-wracking, but you can shine brightly with the right tips. In this article, we will explore twenty effective and efficient strategies to help you deliver a memorable poetry performance.

1. Understand Your Poem: Delve into your poem’s depth, grasp its feelings and hidden meanings. When you truly understand its core, your expression becomes sincere and filled with genuine emotions, touching hearts profoundly. Embrace the essence of your words, and your delivery will resonate deeply, creating a powerful connection with your audience.

2. Practice Regularly: Practice your poem repeatedly. Rehearsals make words stick, freeing you to channel emotions and gestures in your performance. With familiarity, nervousness fades, letting your genuine feelings shine. Through practice, confidence grows, ensuring your words flow effortlessly, creating a captivating impact on your audience, and making your performance memorable and impactful.

3. Work on Voice Modulation: Experiment with your voice by changing tone, pitch, and volume. These variations bring life to your words, making them powerful and mesmerizing. Adjusting your voice adds depth and intensity to your message, ensuring your audience stays engaged and moved by the emotion in your performance.

4. Use Gestures and Body Language: Use expressive gestures to emphasize your words. Your body language amplifies your poem’s emotions, making it more engaging. Movements and facial expressions add depth, helping your audience connect deeply with the feelings you convey. Engage your listeners not just with words, but with the powerful language of your body, enhancing your poetic expression.

5. Eye Contact: Keep looking into your audience’s eyes. This connection makes your performance intimate and personal. When you gaze at them, they feel your words deeply. It’s like talking to a friend, creating a bond. Eye contact shows you care, making your message more heartfelt, and ensuring your words resonate long after your performance ends.

6. Control Your Nervousness: It’s okay to feel nervous; it’s natural. Take deep breaths, and imagine your audience responding positively. Visualize their smiles and encouragement. This helps calm your nerves. Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and your audience wants you to succeed. Believe in yourself, and those butterflies will flutter away, leaving confidence in their place.

7. Memorize Your Poem: Try to memorize your poem whenever you can. This way, you can move freely on stage, expressing yourself naturally. Without the restriction of reading, your performance becomes more engaging and authentic. When your words flow effortlessly from memory, your connection with the audience strengthens, leaving a lasting impact on everyone watching.

8. Be Aware of Your Pace: Be mindful of how fast you speak. Sometimes, slowing down during emotional parts emphasizes feelings, letting the audience absorb them fully. Speeding up during intense moments builds excitement and tension, creating a powerful impact. Mastering this pace control adds depth to your performance, making your poem more impactful and memorable for your listeners.

I started listening to this, picturing Gale reciting, but sometime during the second one I totally lost focus on that and was just totally sucked into the poems.

I wish I'd been able to appreciate poetry like this when I was in high school and we learned about it. Then, though, all I was able to absorb was stuff like Rupi Kaur.

Since Larian didn't give us Gale reading any poetry in game, I had to go to the man himself--the incredible Tim Downie--to correct this horrendous oversight.

Loss and Gain - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

since feeling is first - E. E. Cummings

Dirge Without Music - Edna St. Vincent Millay

Thanks, Tim, for an amazing performance that brought Gale to life!
