I found another slam poet that I like, papergirl, also known as Tennessee Mary Fons. I especially like her presentation of I Love You:
this poem is not for the desperate, the pathetic, the lame, the loser, not
for the one who hasn’t gotten laid in awhile, not for the one who says
they’re “choosing not to date” for awhile, there is no such thing, this
poem is for the people who cannot bring themselves to admit that they
would give their right leg for any length of time with the person on
their mind.
Wow. That hurt, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteSorry it hurt.
DeleteDon't be, it's great when words can physically make you feel alive.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch her "i am so young?" That one is painfully beautiful as well.
I watched it just now. It's good. It's something I'll want to watch several times.
