Superstar

by T. Semakula

(dedicated to Luis Bernard)

There is a poet who throws words up into the sky

And lets them sit there to float like stars

He spits metro psalms that fall out of his lips

There is a poet who moves the crowd with the shove of his vocabulary and his smokin list of demands

His glossary is tight with direct movement

His words give like a cheerful tither, in praise of his God, leaving room fo salvation

There is a poet who gives love with metaphor or a commanding stanza, or a toxic free verse, or an electric sonnet set to my heart’s pentameter

There is a poet who is a bad mother..um..um and he knows it. So fly and energetic, a walking breathing roaring urban poetic. Throwing challenge at form, speaking truth to power, speaking rain to flowers, speaking glow to the moon, speaking space to a narrow room. Supplying base to the boom

There is a poet who lives like a floating haiku, an aggressive rhyme, a potent shout out, a slow moving song

Ohh.. there is a poet, who , like Jill Scott said… was born and will die a poet,

Who wakes up, invisions, and sleeps a poet,

Who moans and cries a poet,

Who chisels and crafts a poet

Who inhales and breathes a poet

Who returns and leaves a poet

Who births and raises other poets

Who sets planets in order

University of Liverpool Superstars Project aims to provide you with the information and support to enable you to take your education further....

For those of you who would like to work with a Superstar one day, Buttafly offers a wonderful workshop titled "Project Cinema"

Project Cinema- (Film Component)-From film noir, to contemporary film, to documentaries...it’s all about this new genre called cinema. Students will be able to become film critics via their writing, or take time out to make a short documentary about their lives or the lives of others. Before a story or idea makes it to the screen, it has to go through a process that involves a great deal of planning and writing. So are your students up to the challenge? See yah at the movies!
