In the comments section, please respond with your thoughts on this spoken word piece. I would also like to know whether it's a type of poetry you enjoy or not. Please elaborate on your thoughts/feelings on the genre. Thanks!
I thought this was an amazing piece! She perfectly summed up life in just a few minutes, and I really enjoyed watching this video. I love this type of poetry, but I also like other types of poetry, too. But this woman is an amazing poet.
For a spoken word piece, I found it to be quite good, although I feel that by having someone read and act out poetry, especially as fast a most spoken word poets do, it takes away from one of the best parts of poetry in my opinion, which is to be able interpret it in whatever way speaks most to you specifically. I don't think poetry is meant to have an enforced meaning, but rather everyone should make their own meaning out of it.
Sarah Kay's rendition of how to help a daughter go threw life is unique and like nothing I have ever heard before. I (having only little experience with first hand bullying, except helping some of my best friends get threw a tough day) thought her comment about have a small but important voice in life and at school was true and more importantly was important for those who are getting bullied to take note of.
I really like this piece. What she says in the poem is very inspiring. I also enjoy this genre. I have watched a few Spoken Words before, but I really loved this one. It moved me in a way other pieces have not. My mother says things like this to me, so it reminded me of her.
