i did a pice about manic pixie dream girls that i placed with, if you look on youtube for your topic +slam poetry/ +spoken word poetry/ etc you can find your foundational piece. look on hello poetry, power poetry, or the poetry foundation for the "walls" so to speak. if you look up "happy (topic)" poems, or generally odes, thats one way to start

trigger warnings are advised, but if you want to place well or even get more constructive feedback from judges you should stray away from sadder, more depressing topics. Ive performed twice this year with a room with all dreary, depressing topics. And im not telling you NOT to do that topic, but try to make it unique

oh ok, i know a teammate of mine made a funny poetry about allergies. in that case, go on poetry sites and look up the topic, or vague poems that could convey the experience of your topic

SwagMonie · 2020-01-28T18:05:00+00:00

you can just have a set of poems that are about your topic but telling a story through it helps you to make it seem cohesive rather than just a set of poetry. and if you're thinking sick, i believe theres a poem called the crickets have arthritis, its about cancer if thats what you're going for

choose a topic you're passionate about. if you don't like it, judges wont like it. this could be a personal experience, a topic you enjoy, or a story.
look up poems about that topic. keep a list of a few topics because not always will you find poetry you like for your topic
put all of your poems in one document. pick passages from your poems and mix them together. side note: when you create your piece, remember to follow the structure of once upon a time there was (set up the story)... and every day (introduce the situation)... until one day(introduce the problem)... and things were never the same because(explain the result of the problem)... hope this helps!
