This is a repost now that we moved blog sites. Ahi was doing a slam poetry competition at one of the local stores in November. He always made it through to the next round, but at the semi finals, he had to go to Honolulu for a leadership workshop, so he couldn’t continue.
This first video is an original poem on any topic Ahi slam video
He wrote on the spoken word.
The next round was a topic chosen by the promoter of the contest. Each contestant got the topic on Monday and they had to write their piece, memorize and deliver it on Saturday.
He had to write about the store, Wiwo’ole, but wiwo’ole in Hawaiian also means fearless. Slam 2
