@CalLumpyK -- American Sign Language (especially when used in poetry) uses a lot of facial expressions... it's akin to using tone of voice when speaking whatever language you speak.
Wow... without realizing it, I started tearing up... That was ridiculously amazing! Beautiful, I loved the entire performance. I have, indeed, subscribed. =]
BRAVO! I'm in my second semester of ASL, and this hit home. I suggest everyone who has watched this, watch it again without hearing or looking at the words. You will get a sense of the power of ASL.
How anyone could say this was gibberish is beyond me! Clearly she has never taken any classes on classifiers or played the "handshape" game....Obama would be impressed!
he or she really doesn't know or have a clue what classifiers handshapes or anything else is...let me guess u only learned word from word...take deaf studies or even go to a deaf function and then you will see for yourself
Very beautiful and touching. We take all of these things for granted and don't realize what our greed (need) is doing to the world we live in; the world that we should instead cherish & protect. What kind of world have we created for our grandchildren?? One of hate and greed and war? Oh God, help us to do better and to change!! It is too bad that we can't work together in peace and create a better life for all. Imagine what would happen if we all worked together instead of killed each other....
I've seen Peter and Kenny perform this live and the regardless whether I'm seeing it on a stage or small computer screen, it still gives me chills. Amazing!!!

Cowangel, Perhaps you should work on your grammar skills before commenting on what you think is or isn't language.

ten bucks says cowangel is deaf and you all have offended him or her. that would be poignantly ironic

Cowgirl calling this "gibberish" shows she has no idea what ASL or ASL poetry is.
Great poem.
