Default Motivational poetry

i recently came across a different style of poetry then i was used to...

Slam Poetry...

it has some very raw emotions and a few artists stand out...

it is great for young teens...or anyone who needs a boost...Shane Koyczan is my favorite....

"Grandmas got it going on"

Celine - I'm not a young teen, and I'm not sure I need a boost! but I loved this guy, a phenomenon with the spoken word and rhythms. Thanks for posting.

Talking about the use of "like" and "you know" in today's language.

"I'm just, like, inviting you to join me on the band wagon of my own uncertainty."
