On Monday, November 24th, there was a poetry assembly. A woman named Gayle Danley came to Cab to share some of her poetry with us. She is quite a talented woman. Gayle connects with people, her poems are very deep. They are graphic, not in the bloody gore type but just that she gets your mind and your imagination racing. It’s like her soul is reaching into yours. Gayle won the 1994 National Individual Slam Poet in Ashville, NC. This was only a few months after learning about Slam Poetry. In Germany, she became the 1996 International Slam Poet Champion.
At Cab, Gayle started off with a funny poem. Most people laughed and thought it was pretty funny. The more the “show” went on her poems got sad. They were about what she went through in her lifetime. The fact that she shared some of her roughest times with us is really impressive. I know sometimes it’s rather hard to share some things. Gayle cried during some points and a lot of people did, including me. Other people really got under my skin. They were laughing at the sad parts. That really made me mad. She was pouring her heart out to us, and people had the nerve to laugh. I know that if you were telling a crowd of middle school students something that touches your heart, you wouldn’t want anyone to laugh. Your feelings would most likely be hurt. So, to pull this all together, I think people should mature and learn what art really is because you’re in an art school. What Gayle preached to us was defiantly art. Appreciate that.
