Ugly Sunset - Mike Gerbino

[ilovechickenbaby]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this :')

[goldenz0mbie]

I think I can say that this is my favorite spoken-word of all time.

[EwinnieG]

I love this one :)

[pimpinmuffins]

can anyone tell me how to find events like this in my town?

[TheBestVloggerEver]

@Payka92 And yet you take the time to comment, let us who love it enjoy it,

[AgentLemmon]

This is pretentious, but hey, that is just my opinion... This sounds like someone who is way too much in love with his own voice (i guess it's sort of functional being a poet and all, but still), overscreaming, overacting, making it sound way more complex or clever then it really is.

[lostcause525]

@AgentLemmon Slam poetry is meant to be overdone. It's picking a subject and verbally slamming it. Most are often more laced with more metaphors. But this is what the subgenre of slam poetry is all about. I may be overstating myself, so to everyone else, please feel free to correctme.

[InfamousFreedom]

This gives me chills. Every. time.

[susNetwork7]

years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me

[Mulletsoldier]

You move to touch my lips, we rotate the earth – another day! The morning sun rises tearful this time: his fading rays now dead of heartache your face now glowing in his stead the sun recedes ashamed – your laughter outshines this ugly sunset once more. There exists only you and I now: you, the magnificent amber sunshine - and I, the silly boy who loves you.

[inbetweenthemirror]

this dude and josh bennett. killed it!

[TheKovach]

@inbetweenthemirror true, but they all we're sick dude. it wasn't really even a competition, they were all in it together, something our generation needs more of man, if you ask me

[inbetweenthemirror]

@TheKovach yea, dude! i agree, and i loved that attitude that everyone had while watching the sets on tv, its just that bennett and gerbino were the ones that did poems that i could relate to the most. like, i seriously dvr'd the series and still watch the episodes all the time. but yea, they all had amazing talent.

[simsfreak2008]
