The GK Q2 Eng/Harz wrote some poems on the topic Home is where your heart is.
Have fun and enjoy!
A poetry slam is a competition in which poets perform spoken word poetry.. Poetry slams began in Chicago in 1984 with its first competition designed to move poetry recitals from academia to a popular audience when American poet Marc Smith began experimenting with existing open microphone venues for poetry readings by making them competitive.
These poems were written to be read aloud.
Home means comfort.
Home
means safety
At home you can rest
At home you can recharge
You can be your true self
At home
Home is where your heart is
My heart is with my friends
Friends mean comfort
Friends mean safety.
With friends you can rest
With friends you can recharge
You can be your true self
with your friends
Friends are home.
A weird crowd of thoughts flow through my brain
There is no way to explain
While life is not waiting
I lost all track of time
everything freezes
it´s forever quarter past nine
The information
in my quarter past nine
is dismembered in peaces
I ´m at home but don´t feel at home
because I´m alone
and on my own
My heart lives
in the
unknown.
Home is where your heart is
but what does home mean?
Home is not a certain place
but all places you want to be.
it´s defined by the city you were born in
but defined by it for you
to be free.
Home does not have to be a town or a house
it also can be different persons and things you like
because home is a feeling.
And for you it should feel allright.
So don´t waste time
take a risk
as long as you follow your heart-
´cause Home is where your heart is.
Identity
I am Turkish
I don´t own a flower shop
neither a Kebap restaurant
my name is not Ahmed or Ali
and I don´t fight with everyone.
I don´t skip school
never have taken any drugs
I don´t smell like onions
and -I work hard.
I don´t live by the government
I do like fancy cars
but not a BMW
a Mercedes is what I want
My name is Melih
and I am Turkish.
