poetry

I've never been a huge fan of poetry, but the BAM (Bamboozled.org) kids I work with are incredibly talented and it's given me a whole new appreciation for the craft and skill.

One of our new BAM authors, Zoe, writes beautiful poetry. Here's one of her recent published works: The Painter.

Toma is also a very talented writer and has posted three awesome poems so far.

Nisha writes dark stories full of imagery. This one especially, makes me almost shiver with disgust. It's THAT good. I also love her story, Death by Gum.

David's Stiletto piece has left a mark on me. And his poem, Sieve, is a really fun ride.

I could say something amazing about all of them, but I just wanted to quickly pluck a few out and show off how kick ass these kids are. Click around & read a few.
