This is possibly the most engaging, most inspiring, and most moving TEDTalk I've ever seen. So powerful. So good.
After years of people trying to convince me I was stupid through junior high school because I was dyslexic, poetry helped me make it to honors English. It pushed me beyond my limitations and now I have an MFA in creative writing. Poetry is the language of the soul.
Poetry helps us find our inner voice.
Yes it beautifies our imagination and not just that gives that divine peace❤
Who invented poetry?
We work hard on writing poetry but so few people read and buy poetry. But it's in our blood. 💛💫
It's the fact... I wish poetry would come to life
Why not turn it into music? It would be a great combination.
@@rpishyao629 I believe that every poet can rap... But some choose to just recite or write
When it touches your soul and you see yourself through the words it's beautiful
There's nothing more powerful than words. Poetry takes it to another level.
Very true I love poetry
This is a genuine being with his heart fully out.
He nearly made me cry :D i cant seperate when he texts and he speaks normaly :D
Making something from nothing is an act of pure optimism. From you, something new has taken shape, and that’s amazing!
This week, express yourself and find solace and relaxation by adding creative pursuits to your self-care routine. Commit to this deliberate focus to prioritize your happiness and wellbeing.
damn. his words resonated in my soul. how i wish i would be in a room with poets and aspiring poets to read aloud our poetry!
Poetry is a tool that turns expression into communication to those who listen, and sounds like sweet noise to those who don't. A good way to state facts in front of an audience containing both listeners and haters, because how can you hate a message presented this way? Perhaps poetry is how you stay safe while saying what others hate.
Although admittedly none of what he said was necessarily controversial, just something that should be talked about more. Good stuff.
Miss doing poetry 🙏🏾
If you want some one to be driven to introspection. Speak/write like a poet!

I started to cry 😭
Think poetry is not so much read through books anymore but finds a place in video / audio form or even through comet books.... but sure the outside poetry exists! I'm happy to find poetry again ❤ I feel it,,,snap snap
Everything about this talk screams power! ⚡

He needs to write the live action Miles Morales Spiderman movie
You vs you bro it’s time to move in silence 📈

There’s pretty much nothing less poetic than the notion of superpowers in a TED talk. OR IS THERE
You need a black audience mane
Why new low because you don’t get it?
I'm a poet that writes for himself...
Like to hip hop

His poem is good, but still Shakespeare is far more better. Not to compare but poetry nowadays has different style. He is great for this era.
