Poetry out loud
The poem, that I picked to evaluate was Siren Song. The performer, Teal Van Dyck, Performs this poem, in my opinion, marvelously. Her articulation and voice, particularly stood out to me. I could tell that she thoroughly understood this poem through her voice, and her dramatization (although at times a bit overbearing) really helped me to understand this poem very easily.
The meaning and reason for this poem, is to show the mythical monsters "The Sirens" in a different, but at the same time, same old light. In this poem, the narrator is one of the sirens, seemingly just wanting off the island, and waiting for a brave and chivalrous sailor to come by and save her. But, towards the end of the poem, there is a shift, that shows the sirens so called "distress call" is really just another way to lure sailors into the sharp rocks of the sirens isle.
