What is poetry anyways? Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm.
Beautiful little film. I love the courage of this endeavor. Keep going.
Where have I been?
I didn't know some beautiful kids were doing this.
There is hope for human kind.
Love this doc!
I have a text that i would love to slam dunk in front of an audience, a long text.
Digi i need to get back to work, Py (almost no doubt) would be willing to be a strong wall i could bounce the words on for approval.
55yrs old, long long gray hair, big smile, standing, phone in hands streaming text, voice shaking a bit, heart pumping a lot.

Fantastic. Watch and enjoy :)

We had a young guy here in town 15 years ago who was such a talented poet it was just unreal. I think that dude had real greatness in him, I really do. Not that I'm the best judge or anything, but he was quite a few steps above what the rest of us were trying, or even remotely capable of, really. Very fresh and original, he'd make you literally feel the neurons crackling in your head when you read him. He composed a little poem about a wombat, of all things, concerned with a relationship he'd had, that would've left you dizzy with the skill of it. Quite a few of the standard poetic devices were there, too, and his command over them already seemed extremely firm. I got the impression he could just "shake the dust from his sleeves" and come up with something the rest of us could only dream of.
edit- The only thing the little bastard seemed to be missing was a clubfoot, lol.
Hurry up and mend and if you fancy a chuckle (laughter being the best medicine) hop over to YouTube and check out Blizzard vs Mark Grist. Student against English teacher. Plug up your kids ears first ;)
Edit, rap battle.
