Spoken Word/ Slam poetry shares
As the title says, this is a place to share spoken word videos from artists you enjoy. I didn't really find a place for this, so I figured I would make one. I LOVE listening to spoken word, and I love sharing the ones I enjoy, but my facebook really isn't the best avenue.
Taylor Mali - Entire Act of Sorrow. INCREDIBLE poem about his wife's suicide, so trigger warning if you're affected by that sort of thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXX_3y5jqhs
Rudy Francisco - Scars/To the New Boyfriend. Fantastic lines! Supreme break-up-I-still-love-you feelings. And the fast turn around with an ex.. Been there.. Though I guess it's not turn around if you were already fucking the new one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6DFoVwZLB8
Megan Falley - Fat Girl. I just love the personal, included feel of this poem in spoken word format. Anyone even remotely not thin can relate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxgpCfPqQpk
Rudy Francisco - Love poem medley. Yes, another one. But a man who nails break-up poems so hard, I can't resist his love poems. Fantastic lines, again, I see why he is a damn champion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR1_2lFXJI4
Anyone you're in love with?

Goodness! How did I forget Watsky! It's been awhile so I'm please to go back and listen to some of his older stuff.
First real poem of his that I listened to was 'Drunk Text Message to God'. I'm struck by how young he looks and seem in this one. I almost wonder if he feels like it no longer relates, even though he performed it last time I saw him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uOhD67028I
Then there is "S is for lisp", which is actually the first time I really noticed that he possibly speaks different from most people. I love the attitude it gives without being supreme blatant about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GvTLfV8fls
A new one "Nothing Like the First Time" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW0iiriacSg
