Poema is an American acoustic pop duo originating from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The group is currently signed to the label Tooth & Nail Records and has released two EPs on said label.
According to the group's Myspace page, sisters Elle and Shealeen Puckett were surrounded by music their entire lives, starting with their parents being in bands to playing music since pre-adolescence. The sisters never planned to be professional musicians until an extremely positive reception following a benefit show in 2008 in their hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. After pondering shortly after the show, the sisters formed Poema, won a "Battle of the Bands" competition and recorded two demos. According to the group's Myspace page, the name "Poema" means "beautiful masterpiece, and God's poem." Keyboardist Shealeen Puckett went on to explain, "We hope that our music is God's poem, and we want everything we do to be a beautiful masterpiece through Him." One review of the group's material found the EP, Sing It Now, to be lacking in "lyrical maturity" but also went on to say that Poema "has got a certain spark about it". Another review claimed the EP was simply about teenage love. Discover Poema on Australia128, with the song "2 am"!
