I love that she is back ......had been waiting for her to make an appearance.....Sarah don't go and disappear just like that, if the sun were to do that, the little green grass won't get to photosynthesis remember

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.

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!

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.
