If you weren't at the National theatre last evening (Friday 30th Jan) you trully missed a free treat to a new style in poetry recital. I feel so blessed to have been there, seeing young energetic Ugandan youth recite their own poems with a twist of expression and acting to the very best. I cant entirely describe this talent to somone who hasn't witnessed it but you beta know, it was trully captivating and echanting.
My best Poem of the day was 'Come'. I must say as a fellow poet, i was challenged by the talent on stage and i was inspired to write more, with a few borrowed styles ofcourse. The lantern Poetry Meet is bedazzling, and i can assure you these guys are good, they will become famous, no doubt, and when they do always remember, yall heard it here first! I'll be fishing for more in4 about the Lantern Meet n passing it on, so u and I can get familiar n won't miss their next events. Hats off guys! by the way am joining the group.

I have no love for poetry - unless it is set to music - but I applaud this venture. I applaud it with two hands.
Thanks Bro! I hope that the impact this venture will have on the disadvantaged will help u love poetry, esp without music. thanx!
Ah i missed it, i had prior obligations, but i know these poets, and i agree that there is some real talent there!
I'm an example of that!

Instead of writing a review, why not let the audience review it themselves....
