Both of these poems were performed on Def Poetry Jam many years ago and even though I have watched both of these several times, it still finds a way to move me. I figured I would share...they are performed with such passion and their soul seems to spill forth through each word. It's not just about the actual words of the poem, but more of how it is delivered. I hope they are as inspiring and intriguing for you as they were for me. Until Next Time...
i love def poetry & mos def is fine! i dont remember "knock knock" but its really good. this one isnt as heavy as the two you posted, but its one of my favorites:

Yeah...we have definitely become addicted to technology..I am guilty.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, thanks so much "reecispieces" for all your comments/feedback! It makes me feel like I'm not just writing for nothing. It's kind of weird cause my counter says "362," I know that I log on here a lot, but other folks must be reading as well!!!
So if you are reading and you like it, dont like it, disagree, want to just add a different perspective, LEAVE a COMMENT!!!!!
i LOVE def poetry. i find myself watching clips for hours sometimes. my fav poet is mayda del valle. heard of her? she wrote a poem about my all time fav quote-"what's clouded in darkness will always come to life, my love". she's great. && my fav performance is that of alicia keyes-POW.
