I'd like to start out by saying that I dyed my hair a new color, and even though It is darker than expected, I love it. Second of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for any random words or poor punctuation through this post, I'm using my mother's iPad because all other devices are occupied in my house, and let me tell you this autocorrect is already being a bitch. So, I'm sorry if I don't catch it, like just a second ago when I was typing "already" and it changed it to "a lady"...
On another note I hope everyone is have/has had an incredible Monday. You matter. If that seems random for me to say to you, the student council at my school has been promoting positive Monday's, where you let the people in your life, or even strangers, that THEY MATTER. AND GUESS WHAT READER. YOU MATTER TO ME!!!
AND HAPPY CYBER MONDAY!!
Now let's cut to the chase, I'm here to talk about something that has recently sparked my interest and you're here to make me happy and pretend to care, same old drill. SO THIS WEEK, aside from the relaxing Thanksgiving break I had (which I hope yours was awesome as well) I stumbled upon something new. Well, it's probably old actually, but it's new to me and maybe even new to you. Spoken word poetry. Sure. I had heard of it, but I never really paid much attention to it, never checked it. UNTIL NOW. And you guys, it's pretty intense stuff, like it can really grab a hold of your insides and twist them in both good and bad ways. INTENSE. I was MAYBE cyber stalking this one really cool person and found a video link to a certain Sarah Kay. And she's pretty inspirational, pretty bad ass.
I'm not much of a poet, and I don't actually care for much poetry in books or classes or
anything. For me to be interested in poetry I have to be interested in the person themselves, therefore interested in what they have to say. BUT. This Sarah Kay character made me interest in her BECAUSE of her poetry. It's intriguing to watch her do her thing. And she made this series of Love Letter poems between inanimate objects. IT'S PRETTY COOL. So my interest was sparked and here I am hoping you don't laugh at what I have to share. I don't have anything really to add so I'm going to leave you with a video of Sarah Kay being inspirational, a video of her love letter poem, and then a video of MY ATTEMPT AT MY OWN VERSION!!! If you watch my version (where you can see my new hair!) PLEASE watch hers first so you can sort of get the feel for it... EEeeee!!
