Graffiti D.C.: Escribe Adventurism at its poetic finest!!

I can hear the people shouting…

A MOVEMENT IS STARTING…

Like the strategist’s techniques and with chess pieces…

A MOVEMENT IS STARTING…

Like the activist’s shouts of peace from his direct thesis…

A MOVEMENT IS STARTING…

Like the evangelist’s leaving their seats, telling you to select Jesus…

A MOVEMENT IS STARTING…

And because the youth’s have put victory in their reach with the correct sequence…

…A MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN



Those are but a few words that help summarize the phenomenon being taken place in the Washington D.C. area. A movement of passionate slam poetry from the depths of the soul, composed of the rawest talents on the entire scene is what Graffiti D.C. is. When each poet graces the stage, they let you know that this movement is going to take the world by storm. After years of writing and performing individually, building the impact of the words that danced from the paper to the ears of the fans that anticipate to hear a peice, Graffiti D.C. members have made it their slogan that "Slam Poetry is The Art of War." Which means, they all have something to say, and they are more than willing to fight in order to say what needs to be said.

Here are some of the members that make Graffiti D.C. so profound in its message...

This is all but a small taste of the batter being constantly whipped up as these poets share to you their life, thoughts, imaginations, beliefs and much more in such a blend of unique styles that they've poured the fiber of their being to you like they were gourmet chefs serving up a plate of food for thought to keep you filled for the rest of the night. They're going for more than just a showcase but an establishment as they are here to stay.

Graffiti D.C. asks for fellow poets to take up their pens and join in "The Art of War", a Slam Competition taking place every 3rd Wednesdays starting July 21, 2010. The winner of each slam (totaling 8 in all) goes to compete for the prize of $1,000.00. It'll be cutthroat of words that slice like daggers, sharpened by the determination of each contestant. Be sure not to miss in this powerful movement.
