I might as well throw in a disclaimer here...I imagine a lot of my posts are going to either mention "Stumble", "Pintrest", or both. I've fallen in love with Stumble, it has proven to be a good way to provide me with knowledge of things I didn't know exist. And Pintrest helps me to organize that knowledge.
That being said, stumble has recently introduced me to a new form of poetry, Spoken Word poetry. I'd never heard of such a thing. However when it pulled up a video of Sarah Kay doing a performance of it on TED, I immediately got on youtube and started searching for as many spoken word poetry performances as I could find by her. I loved them. Ambiguous enough to read some of your own into it, yet with clear cut thoughts brought out in the beauty of descriptive simile's and metaphors.
Upon looking up Spoken Word poetry on wikepedia
(here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoken_word)
I do not know if most of it is as good and clean as what Sarah Kay presents, but I still am fascinated by it & wonder if I could present such a piece myself.
