I am Madonna from the Music Video for Like a Prayer and I Fucking Dare You to Look Away, inspired by the music video for Like a Prayer (shockingly). I was absolutely delighted to share this NaPoWriMo keeper at @processproductions last month - always the perfect place to try some new material out. Much love as always to the other Lewis, @tyronelewiscreative for filming and sharing. #poems #poetry #spokenword #londonpoetry #madonna

Context: Once upon a time, in a land far far away (Germany), a knight in his shining armour was taking a stroll along a river with the love of his life. He spotted these beautiful flowers on the edge of the river, and bent over to pluck them for her, but the weight of his armour led to his literal downfall, he drowned away throwing his flowers towards his lover, saying ‘forget-me-not; forget-me-not’. And that’s the how the flowers got their name, forget-me-nots. Now I don’t know how true this story is. But my knight, in his unwashed pajamas, could not even get 3 quid flowers from the Lidl next door, much less write me a poem. So like most things in the relationship, I took it upon myself to write a poem on behalf of him. Yes, writing about my exes is my favourite genre of poetry. Jk :) This piece had been in my archives for so long, and on a random Tuesday night, Process Productions let me vent it all out 🙆🏻‍♀️ 📸: @tyronelewiscreative 🎤: @processproductions

I recently performed one of my poems at an open mic night - yikes. It was the brilliantly welcoming @processproductions in Hackney run by @kaylatmf @tyronelewis22 . It was such a great night of fab poetry and I was made to feel really comfortable being a bit of a poetry rookie. I recommend getting involved. ❤️ the poem was called Existential Crisis at a Premier Inn Hotel Room. This is the first stanza. In the face of unprecedented rupture
a Premier Inn seemed the obvious place to come. Clacton, sea front, off the A12.
Everything in one place
and everything is purple
I live here now. If you’ve seen or been in my plays over the last few years you might notice Premier Inn often gets a mention. When we were doing Yen at the Royal Exchange ten years ago I had just had my first miscarriage and was quietly unravelling in my hotel room - despite how well the show was going and how proud I was of it and the team. There are quite a few Premier Inns in central Manchester - and I stayed in all of them. Waking in the rooms it always felt exactly the same - and the consistency was a touch stone. But then I’d leave and find myself in a different part of Manchester and have to find my way to the theatre all over again. It was a strong metaphor - I had lost a sense of who and where I was. Later I started taking trips to Premier Inn in Clacton to work. The idea was I’d be away from home and immerse myself in what I had to do when a deadline was approaching. (With varying levels of success). One particular trip was really misguided - after two more miscarriages and losing my mum, all in the space of a couple of years. I should never have gone away and been alone at a time like that and I went to quite a dark place. I tried to write a play about it but it ended up being a long poem which features in my first collection - Decade - which is published by the mighty @brokensleepbooks (who just won best small press for Wales at the British Book Awards) which I’m more excited about than I have been about anything for ages. It’s available for pre-order now and is out on 30th April. There’s a link in bio if you fancy a look and more dark but hopefully funny poetry.
