With all of her other poetry that I know by heart at this point, I keep wishing I could experience them for the first time again and again. So I kept delaying listening to this poem despite how incredibly excited I got when I saw it, because I know I only get a first time once and I really wanted to savor it and save it for a special occasion. It was so worth it. Now on to listening to it over and over until I commit it to memory.
Listened and watched this 4 times consecutively... Standing firm on the very same spot, but moving, racing miles, while taking us all along, with Her words, Her facial expressions and waving signaling arms and hands... WHAT A NATURAL AND WONDERFUL POET!!! I'm mesmerized...❤❤❤
From one writer and poet to another, thank you Sarah for such profound, organic, and remarkably clean (yet masterful) word play. I wish there were more poets such as yourself. Grateful to hear your poetic voice again. :)
Can’t believe it’s my first time watching this. Sarah was the one who made me fall in love with slam poetry and her ability to capture the subtle beauties of life always amazes me. Thankyou Sarah! Keep doing what you do ❤
@@nathaliaarcos1852 me too! Sarah is an absolutely delightful entry to English language! I love her so much! so freaking much, what a poet!! Glad someone else is experiencing the same giddiness of adventure I experienced! Good luck with your learning, all the best, historyhub845! If I may, I also recommend Useless Bay and Ghost Ship, my all time favourites, then Dreaming Boy, Orange and Minister of Loneliness - exquisitely beautiful poems!
I love you so much and thank you with all my heart. a masterpiece just like every time you speak. i love your mind your soul your voice your words thank you so much
What is happening? The first time I ve ever seen a negative comment about the one and only Sarah Kay. If you don t like (or get) slam poetry, you don t have to listen to a 3-minute poem😅
True what one YT said. Beautiful and elloquently stated. The universe hasn't called me. I've called the universe.... with no answer. I'd need to be able to be around humans without them hurting me before I could ever do a Ted Talk. I have no problem showing up though. I've served.
Does anyone else find poetry agonisingly pretentious and cringeworthy? The stereotypical cadence is like an awful failed drama student who works in a bookstore and pretends to live in a fairytale.
A lot of people that perform poetry just won't let go of that forced way of saying things and allow themselves to use scripted words with more natural expression. I guess they call it slam poetry because you want to slam your head or something into it.

We would be great friends.
Thank you, Sarah. I've missed your poetry and I needed this tonight.
I love hearing her poetry. Her voice is soothing.
Sarah Kay.... you will always be my favourite spoken word poet. You are brilliant.

I love Sarah's poetry and voice. So glad to hear something new! Like other people have commented, needed this

As a english learner, she just poured bunch of new vocabulary at me to learn!
She helped me with my English too! Like 12 years ago lol you should listen to The Type or Mrs Ribeiro, beautiful poems for sure!

0:24 ivy up? What does that mean
Ivy is a plant that grows on things
Probably growing fire she talks about.
😊😊😊😊😊
Is she on Instagram?
Okay
Posession is 9/10ths law; look forward to seeing your venison videos.
Take a look at what is happening in Palestine.
Don't do drugs kids.
First
Free Palestin 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
So bad
This was, by far, the biggest and most non-educational waste of time that TED has ever put out. This presentation belongs in a Starbucks.
At least you were honest about it going over your head 👏🏼
@@lricci2050 lol... if I wanted to hear bad poetry, I'd go look for the Bad Poetry Channel, not a TED talk.
A reminder what TED is. Technology Education and Design. :)
It's 3 minutes out of a 30 minutes presentation.
It's spoken word poetry.
I guess you didn't really get it.
@@JoyMoreira spoken word poetry is possibly the single biggest waste of human creative energy mankind has ever thought of... Except maybe Pogs.

came here to say the same thing lol this was some TEDx level stuff
Touch grass

Poor effort to sell this verbal vommit for poetry. What a shame
Ok is this a coffee shop and where are the bongos to add to her dramatic stops
Word vomit bro
