She'd actually like to get Tyrone's attention, but she doubts that'll ever happen. Judianne wishes she had good hair and light skin. Or maybe she'd like to look like Lupe… Well, at least she can sew. She figures that making amazing outfits for herself makes up for her looks. She knows she's not pretty because her stepdad always tells her so. Sometimes her mom tries to stick up for her, but it never works—being called ugly is no joke. One day, Judianne is going to get out of there and she's going to transform.
Now if only her sewing machine could help with that… Open Mike: Cocoon Judianne's poem is all about the ways we alter ourselves to be beautiful, kind of like a seamstresses alters a dress. Judianne promises to break out of her cocoon someday, though. When she reads this part, the class greets her with thunderous applause. Tyrone Tyrone doesn't get it: Don't girls like the way they look? At least boys don't have that problem.

Lupe Lupe decides to break up with Marco. She hardly ever sees him, plus she figures she needs someone better than Marco to be the father of her child. Lupe breaks up with Marco over the phone and then calls Leslie to cry.

She's upset and feels alone, and Leslie assures her that it's going to be okay. She felt this same way when her mom died. Open Mike: El Noche Lupe's poem is about loneliness. She feels like she's all alone in the darkness, but then she sees a friend in the distance. Tyrone Every time Lupe reads a poem, she's so quiet that Tyrone can barely hear. Ward asks Lupe to read her poem again. She may be quiet, but her words are powerful. Girls are good at that sort of thing, Tyrone thinks.
Digging Through The Fat • A Literary & Arts Journal for Cultural Omnivores
Janelle Janelle is surprised to hear Judianne's poem—she always thought Judianne was so confident, but it turns out she isn't. Janelle can relate, so the next time she's in the bathroom and sees Judianne, she tells her so. Judianne isn't having it, though. She tells Janelle her poem was just a bunch of words that didn't mean anything. Besides, they're nothing alike; Janelle is fat and Judianne is most definitely not.
Witch Poems
Janelle doesn't try to talk to her again. Why give Judianne the chance to be mean? Plus, she knows the truth and Judianne doesn't: Calling Janelle names won't make Judianne feel better about herself. That's some real talk right there. Open Mike: Mirror, Mirror Janelle's poem is about two girls who see each other in a mirror.
One of them doesn't like the reflection she sees so she smashes the mirror. All this gets her, though, are cut and bleeding hands. Tyrone Tyrone thinks everyone's poems are getting better. Ward has moved Open Mike Friday from once a month to once a week, and the practice is helping.
Tanisha Scott It annoys Tanisha so much when Tyrone calls her a "caramel cutie. Judianne is the worst.
She actually reached out and stroked Tanisha's hair the other day and Tanisha had to yell at her. That's why Tanisha chopped off all her hair last year. Her mother didn't want her to cut it, but she went and did it anyway—it didn't turn out so great, but at least it stopped people from commenting on it. Like those girls in the cafeteria that would call her "high-yella" and said she didn't belong.
What do they know? Tanisha knows she's better off with her real friends anyhow. That's why she and Janelle and Diondra are going to do a group project on women of the Harlem Renaissance for Mr. Those two girls accept her for who she is, no matter what she looks like.
Open Mike: For the Record Tanisha's poem is about her ancestry and how people see her. She comes from Africa; her great-great-grandparents were slaves; her mom is black. So why isn't this good enough for everyone else?

It's good enough for her. Tyrone Ah, so now Tyrone gets why Tanisha hates it when he calls her a "caramel cutie"—she's proud of her African heritage. Maybe she likes African music, too? That might be a nice way to start a conversation with her. Devon Devon thinks Tanisha's cute, but he doesn't tell her so. He knows she doesn't like the constant comments from guys and doesn't like people judging her for the way she looks. Devon can relate. He feels like he's destined to be seen as the "dumb jock" his whole life. At lunch, Devon's friend Mike comes up to him and sees he's reading a book. Mike assumes it's for class, but Devon corrects him, saying he just likes reading.
Mike isn't impressed, but Devon doesn't care. He's going to take that book on the bus with him tonight on the way to his team's away game. He'll let everyone see; reading is awesome. Open Mike: Black Box Devon's poem is about boxes. And guess what? He's not a fan. He doesn't like anything about boxes and doesn't like being put in one either. Take notice, everyone. Tyrone Tyrone realizes Devon's right: No one in this class fits in the boxes he used to put them in.
Even Mr. Ward is surprising him.
He thought their teacher wouldn't last five minutes in this neighborhood, but he's proving everyone wrong—especially with this poetry thing. Sterling S. Hughes Sterling plays guitar in his church choir and wants to be a science teacher. He also got honey spilled on his new shoes today at lunch.
Everyone thinks Sterling is a real goody-goody because he's Christian, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. He just keeps it under control. He has to. After all, he's college-bound; he's getting out of this place. No sense in wrecking all that. Sterling forgives the guy who ruined his shoes by kissing him and the kid freaks out. He calls Sterling a fool, but Sterling tells him he's just a fool for Jesus.
See, Sterling believes in God and he's not embarrassed about it. He's seen prayers answered and knows God works in our lives. That's just the truth. It might have taken Sterling a while to get into this poetry thing, but now he's playing backup guitar for some of the poets and enjoying it a lot more. Thanks, Mr. The whole piece ends with Sterling admitting that he's not perfect either.
