Well, some of you who have ever followed this may have wondered about the title of the blog, “My Creative Expression.” About two years ago I began dabbling in a non-traditional area of art: spoken and written. I have not really shared much of my written work, but I have begun to dip my toes in the waters of spoken poetry. I was exposed to it by a forensics (speech and debate, not CSI) teammate in college and began writing some samples a couple months later. I competed once at a poetry slam in Springfield, MO but was unable to continue competing due to my busy school schedule. However, I’ve continued to work on some pieces here and there, and lately I’ve been able to perform a couple of my own poems at my church as well as someone else’s piece at our Easter service.
So, what’s my creative expression? This blog is simply an outlet for me to creatively express myself: thoughts and beliefs as well as some of my art, unconventional though it may be. Thanks for your support. Below I have posted a couple links to two of the poems that I have written and performed. I decided not to upload them directly to my blog so as to save money (hey, what can I say?).
