Poetry with a twist! That’s what a poetry slam is.
It is a performance of your poems with random audience members as the judges. They will score you on a scale from 1-10. The slam consists of three rounds; those with the highest scores move on into the next round, until you end with three and a champion. If this sounds like fun then you would love participating in a poetry slam at WWCC. The “Slammers” are looking to build a strong Slam team this year. Their goal is to take Collegiate Nationals in April.
The main students participating in the Slams are also in the class. The class consists of just a few students but don’t let that fool you. They have plenty of heart and are willing to do what it takes to get to the top. They work hard and are always writing and revising their poems. They have chosen to be on the team because they believe that it helps you become more articulate, improves your writing skills and it’s a good outlet. Some of the things these students enjoy most about their class is the laid back atmosphere, the fun they have and that it motivates and inspires them to write.

Recently a Slam was held on campus and it was a great time. The evening began with dancing and commenced with an open mic session, which was followed by the much anticipated competition. It was an evening filled with fun and laughter, sprinkled with a hint of sarcasm and seriousness. The audience and competitors alike seemed to be enjoying themselves. Thank you to those of you who came and showed your support.
