, anybody anywhere who does this kinda crap to another human being should be ashamed.i never really understood passive agressive before now. why don't you actually grow a set and just throw bricks at us?

Another beautiful poem by Sarah. I'm actually from Santa Cruz, CA and when she mentioned it I knew she would belong in an amazing place like that. The forest fire was terrible.

@SPSKDM Poetry does NOT have to rhyme; that is only one fragment...one portion of poetry that exists in a sea of poetry. Poetry is the words that come from the mouth or the tip of a pen/pencil that conjures emotions in another; something that has meaning, and something that inspires. It does not have to have the structure of rhyming, what matters is how it feels to the one who is listening/reading it. That is all....

[Meismeok921]

This is beautiful........I love her style, it's the type of style I would take if I were to do spoken word poetry...

[TheCussBank]

As a side note, I think Sarah Kay is a really inspiring poet. I've only recently gotten interested in poetry after my friend invited me out to one her her jams, found out about Sarah through TED and her stories really speak to me. It's not something a lot of my friends understand, but I like it.

[swivelskank]

I think i might be in love!
