Toronto Poetry Slam

So tomorrow night is the semi-final of the Toronto Poetry Slam season. I am proud to say I am in the semi-finals. The top 12 poets in the Toronto Poetry slam season go to the semis. I have to be honest and say I finished 13th, but slid in because another poet dropped out. I am excited and honoured nonetheless to be competing. The top eight make the finals and the top five make the Toronto Poetry Slam team for 2009. They compete at "the nationals" in West Palm Beach, Florida for the American championship (or North American championship). They would also compete at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Victoria, BC. In reality, there are some really great poets at the top and my whole goal is to just do my thing and let whatever happen, even if it means I do not move on. I am excited about tomorrow, regardless of the result.
