More than just tips: this is coaching for the contest!
POEM is deceptively simple: behind its short lines are complex ideas, images, and emotions. How can you communicate all that to an audience?

POEM by Jorie Graham
The earth said
remember me.
The earth said
don’t let go,
said it one day
when I was
accidentally
listening, I
heard it, I felt it
like temperature,
all said in a
whisper-build to-
morrow, make right be-
fall, you are not
free, other scenes
are not taking
place, time is not filled,
time is not late, there is
a thing the emptiness
needs as you need
emptiness, it
shrinks from light again &
again, although all things
are present, a
fact a day a
bird that warps the
arithmetic of per-
fection with its
arc, passing again &
again in the evening
air, in the pre-
vailing wind, making no
mistake-yr in-
difference is yr
principal beauty
the mind says all the
time-I hear it-I
hear it every-
where. The earth
said remember
me. I am the
earth it said. Re-
member me.
