Innovation, Poetry by Trasha Nicole Hickman

Genre: Inspiration

Innovation
by Trasha Nicole Hickman

Thoughts become things
Energy changes form
Diversity is really the norm.

Comparative value here
Comparative value there
Wants abound everywhere.

Ask and you shall receive
Seek and you shall find
but only if you align.

You reap what you sow.
What will manifest only
you know.

Perception changes everything.
Live, grow, change, evolve
the problems you have are already solved.

Life is but a perpetual dream.

In the Flesh, Poetry by Lexy Yocom

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: Rhyme, Life, Society

In the Flesh
by Lexy Yocom

Climbing through the towers
Selfishness and guilt
Taking advantage of power
Racing up our own hills
It’s crazy how we all think
It’s crazy what makes us crave
Remember all that drown or sink
Forget not to save
People who’ve been broken
Selfless creating mourn
Ones who’ve been outspoken
Shredded ripped and torn
Uses for our own worth
Body flesh and bones
Not stopping to think who we hurt
Making it all our own
This world is ours or so it may
Trust and love overthrown
Masked influence through the days
It’s only what is shown
Thrown over our own towers
Selfishness and guilt
No more left for power
Do you know how we have felt?

The Golden Man, Poetry by Alexander Nderitu

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre(s): Politics/Society

The Golden Man
by Alexander Nderitu

I had a dream.
I was walking down a street in downtown Harlem,
The stirring strains of jazz in my ear,
When I bumped into Martin Luther King, Jr.
It was drizzling and darkness had fallen
And I said: ‘Perhaps you could help me, sir.
You see, I’m looking for the Golden Man.’
King said, ‘What do you want them Orientals for, brother?
Say it loud – I’m Black and proud!’
I explained that the Golden Man has no particular colour;
He equates racism with ignorance and doesn’t bother
With petty prejudices, seeing humanity as one.

King said: ‘How long have you been searching, son?’
I said: ‘Quite some time now, more than a year.’
‘Have you ever heard about the “Conference of Birds”?’
‘Yes – some birds made an epic flight to see their God
But when they reached Heaven, a…

Rain, Poetry by James Kennon

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: Nature, Rhyme, Funny

Rain
by James Kennon

Rain falls like terminal dodo birds liquefied by infinite speed,
gravity plunges one way, directional confusion of enveloping skins, wave upon wave etc…

Circular chitterings of gnomish crazy-eyed beaks,
quills loaded with thick black syrupy information encrypted into dazzling streaks of digital flight,
through iron pellets and streaking beams of displacing squareness that leave gaping holes in reverse images frozen with surprise.

Wetness brings cures for dryness, visions of self reflected in falling drops show the multitudes of one, bringing joy in wetness all things are covered,
old brains,
wear plastic yellow sheets that hum rain into piercing darts, splinters.

How did I think I could see the rain eye to eye without falling?

Secrete Ingredient, Poetry by Gail DeBole

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: Humorous, but not for the Faint of Heart, Funny, Rhyme, Family

Secrete Ingredient
by Gail DeBole

I was at the hospital.
It was a quarter past two.
I was waiting for my husband.
There was nothing to do.

The emergency was over.
His gall bladder was out.
He was coming back home
Better off, no doubt.

The next day our daughter cooked
A special meal for her dad.
To celebrate the ending
of what could have been sad.

Instead we were all at the table
Treating my hubby like a star
When he eyed the counter
And asked, “Where is the jar?”

My daughter’s eye caught mine
And she instantly knew
That this was no ordinary
Meat and Potato stew.

She ran into the bathroom
Her face turning green
As she quickly zoomed
Bypassing her scream.

And while she was retching
I quickly followed behind
And while she was…

There is no festival like this!

Mainly what this contest does is give exposure to the writer. They will be able to obtain a solid agent, plus get notice by producers looking for writers like yourself. NOTE: The writer will always own 100% rights to their poem. The only thing we do is help the writer gain exposure by having their story showcased at our festival and on this website.
