So, Shihan is one of my fav poets. I used to you tube def peotry jam episodes years ago, and spend nights, days, whenever I had the chance, I would watch old clips. I have so many fav's, but Shihan caught my attention. This Type of Love is a favorite, He also has Flashy words, and a couple of others. I stumbled upon his FB page through another friends page, and discovered that he had his own company so I checked it out and discovered other new artists, and other new artists and it made me wish I worked harder at being a poet. I have slacked and that is not good. These poets are accomplished, internationally known, and have even performed at the White House. THAT is awesome. So one of my goals is to travel to different poetry sites next year. T.O will be the first spot. I want to spend time going to different events, checking out new artists, making new connections, finding old ones, networking and even do some open mic at the events. Of course this will take time to plan, but I am DETERMINED to make it happen. I would love to check out the poetry scene out West as well, and of course, the States, I plan to do my hwk but I hope that the Def Jam stage is still around. I know that Edmonton won this year and that's awesome...I was rooting for Halifax but the best won. I want to be a better poet because this world needs to hear what we have to say, they have to hear what I have to say and that will only happen if I do something about it. I will be posting some videos of poets that I love, feel free to check them out.
I love new discoveries, I enjoy trying new things, there is always a risk, but the risk is worth it sometimes.
Never stop living your passion!
