poetry that is not too dusty

4/3/2015

it's april which means it's national poetry month! now i haven't always liked poetry... i used to hate it! however, i've been able to find poems that i love. there are some beautiful poems... you just need to find the ones that fit your taste and those that speak to you...

slam poetry is a more modern type of poetry, taking spoken word and adding a little more rhythm and emotional qualities. (here's a good book about it) some favorites include...
:anis mojgani's shake the dust.
:tyler joseph's lyrics, what's your story, and street poetry.
:levi the poet's resent ment, college ruled lines. (words here)

i hope you find some good words here! i'm looking forward to sharing more poetry in the weeks to come. if you have any favorite poems or poets, please do comment them below! i would love to get some recommendations!

xxx,
jo
