I want to share the activities of a poetry workshop, New Orleans Writers Workshop titled Surprise!, or How To Get Started, I participated in last year. As I perfect my writing craft, I enjoy exploring and learning different mediums of self-expression. At the of age nine, and greatly influenced by hip hop emcees, I became mesmerize by shaping words into images in rhythmic form. However, as an uneducated youth of hip hop culture, I was unaware that rap is poetry to a beat. But, as I matured, I learned to love poetry and what it has to offer the human soul and experience.
