Born into an age of dirt, we stood atop a lonely tower. Watching as the spring fell and winter rose. The warm breath of tomorrow's birth, the cold breeze of day's passed. Feeding a mind of mad daze and broken dreams. Oh where to find peace but within? Where to find truth, but within. Oh hear this young mind, The world wants only chance. Chance of love, chance of life, chance to change.
hi, can i use this as a reference, im trying to make my own written poetry for school purposes and i find yours very good and profound. Imma put your username on the credits XD
I write poetry in a weird way. I have a problem with identifying what I'm truly feeling so I use poetry in a way to get across what I'm feeling when I have no words for what it is. I get inspired very easily just by hearing or reading a certain word or hearing a certain sound.
everyone else:*only learning how to write* me:*learning and falling in love with her eyebrows and her face and and her accent and wait am I even listening to her omg*
Chrystal M. Lol Same.. I just zone out for a few minutes and then replay the bit I missed ,cos I'm too absorbed ,admiring her shirt,her hairstyle ,her lips ,eyes.. OMFG I SOUND LIKE SUCH A CREEP!!!!🙈😹
I would like to help you channel your thoughts easier. Get a notebook. Write all your thoughts and feelings down every day. Don't worry about spelling or if your thoughts run together or if things sound bizarre, just write stuff down exactly as you think it. You have to get in practice of letting your thoughts and feelings flow outward. Soon you should find it easier to write stuff down...hope this helps
A good practice for writing spoken word is to brainstorm on paper but instead of using paper use your mind and tap in and out of emotions for example when you tap into a emotion you got from a negative or trying experience think about the experience and write the emotion down then tap into a joyful or happy experience and think about how you felt inside of that experience and write that down and alternate back and forth tap in to one and out in to the next and every time you tap in before you leave out grab an emotion and take it with you now it don’t exactly have to be an emotion it could be something related to that emotion such as tears or sleepless nights anxiety fear etc in regards to negative emotions and as for the emotions of positive experiences it could be the same as follows the characteristics of the emotion such as words like my heart smiles, or rhythms played so loud I can hear angels tap dancing in mist of crowds of clouds which maybe the reason while I sing quiet shouts of rejoicing echoes that allows me to smile sooo loud but yeah you get the message I hope and pray that this helped you⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🙏blessings blessings to you and your family and yesss free yourself threw your art and expression and just know by you freeing yourself you will help countless others peace
It's interesting to know how other people create their poetry.I write so differently. So, I usually start with a line or two in my notes then I keep revisiting it and building up the poem until it feels right. That way, my title comes last most of the time because I have no idea what the finished product is going to sound like. This was enlightening
taz this is my favorite thing as a poet and playwright who really has been trying to expand to non rhyming spoken poems this was just so awesome. You are so awesome, youve saved my life, inspired me, taught me and helped me grow. you are such an amazing lovely human please Keep existing you are so strong and i thank you everyday for all your videos
Not all poetry rhymes free verse doesnt always rhyme, you can also turn it into a monolouge or spoken word just read it aloud find the flow and share your voice
I have so many spoken word poems that I wrote and I'm pretty proud of them and I want to share them to the world but I don't know how I'm so extremely shy..... advice ?????
honestly just do it. if you're shy then start off by annonimisly sharing them or only tell them to close people you know to help you break out of your shell
Laila Shaaban I am Zohra Gilani and I also do poetry as well. If you don't mind, could you please subscribe to my channel and check out my poetry as well? That would mean a lot. Thanks!
I don't know how everyone else writes spoken word poetry. I just write my poetry and read it on my videos. I just lets my words kinda be themselves I guess. I put my heart into it
I think it's kind of about the person. When something happens to me I write it down in form of a story. It comes natural for me to do it that way. When I came home once and I saw a poster that had fallen off my wall and I knew it was because family members fighting, I wrote that down as thing I could add to a story. When I had a panic attack I wrote that down in form of a story and replaced my name with my character's name. I think people have different ways to easily express themselves and kinda get things out. For you it's perhaps easiest with spoken word poetry and for me it's easier to write it down as a story plot of some sorts. idek lol. I really love your videos keep it up
Thankss I needed this so much!!! When I write I tend to change topics from one to another!! When I start with a sad tone then it ends with kind of motivational I guess!? Idk!! I wish I could be able to write like u tbh
Thanks this really helped me. I'm using spoken word poetry to explain my depression to my therapist so I can get help and help myself get out of this hole in living in and now I just need to learn how to get it down :) :(
Hey Taz! I've watched all your spoken word poetry and they're ALL beautiful and they inspired me. I started writing poetry just this morning and I really like it, I feel like I can express myself through it. Thankyou!
I've been trying to write some recently whenever I get inspired, but I wasn't really sure what I was doing or if I was doing it "right." All this info is super helpful and encouraging. Half way through, I actually went back and started taking notes. Thank you! :) I've been watching spoken word on RU-vid for around 2 years and always found it to be so moving and inspiring. In the past few months, though, I've realized that I actually want to do it. I think for a long time it seemed just like another lofty hard to reach thing to add my long list. I think I've seen so much of it and seen so many different styles that now I feel like it's not so much an exclusive club, but an open community that anyone can join. It's wonderful to have that confirmed and get some great tips as well!
Just wanted to say that I love this channel and think you deserve so much more from this Account.The amount of work that you inject into this channel compared to the fruits of your labour is inspirational. I know you started this from an organic passion but you truly deserve to be able to rely on this channel for income. xXx
Thank you so much. I write poetry, but haven't done spoken word. I was afraid that it had to be written a precise way. I'm way more confident now. You're absolutely lovely. I appreciate it. Much love. 💖
I need help cuz nobody believes me. They think I'm crazy. All these things are true: I have anxiety, depression, bipolar disease, ADHD mild OCD. Schitzofrenia. I'm everywhere at once but all I want to do is lay down. And I'm scared of EVERYTHING. I want help! I know this isn't helping any of us, but... I don't know. I'm stupid. My brain is hell. Loud! But so quiet at the same thing. I want to scream. I don't want pity. I want help. My mom died in kindergarten. So I've had these disorders and syndromes for 5 years. You inspire me so much. I write a lot of poetry now. And I find it VERY soothing.
I write stories. and it just naturally flows out of me, I know that sounds strange. I've tried to write poetry. for me, poetry is work, writing stories is just fun. it rarely ever feels like work to me. I'm still trying to write poetry though.
I just started to write poems and this helped me out a lot. Thank your very much! I'm in love with your poems can't wait for your next one. Thanks for all the inspiration & motivation :).
BEAUTIFUL POEMS MUST ALWAYS BE EMBRACED WITH WORDS AND ART AND AN ABUNDANCE OF GRACE SHINING SPINNING GLIMMERING GLOWING WHEN WRITING THE WORDS ONE MUST FEEL LETTERS FLOWING WORDS SNOWING WIND BLOWING
Really enjoyed this. I wrote a bit of spoken word last year, but I haven't in months. Usually a line came into my head and then it was quite literally word vomit. I've been wanting to get back into it, but I think like you mentioned in this, I was just thinking too much about it and have put too much pressure on myself. Great video, Taz. Really great video Taz. Loved the insight into your creative process!
I can relate, that is exactly how I write. I don't know any technicalities. The only thing I understand is to relate with my readers. I want their emotions to align with mine. I felt i wasn't doing something right but I'm inspired to also be different in my own way. Thank you very much.
this video is so classic and so helpful. thank you so much Taz for helping all the aspiring writers. thank you so so so so much. you're truly a gift from God!
Bro i gotta write a spoken word poem for an english assignment but the problem is I really don't care about my poem and I don't have any emotion to it and foreal not tryna get emotional on stage smh
very helpful. I'm an upcoming writer, grateful for this-pointers are accurate. i legit just write what comes to mind-word vomit, so i get that. straight out of Jamaica 👏🇯🇲
This video is great it answered my question that I've always pondered over the years. I am a R&B singer I do most of Barry White's work if you're familiar with him. But I was always concerned about the technical aspects of singing trying to deliver the song the proper timing Beats word annunciation. Now I'm learning the best thing to do is to sing just from the heart
I feel like, I want to make people think. You know?? I try and I write and I _think_ , and so it never comes across simply. Everything I write tends to be almost cryptic, with odd wording where you need to read it a couple times to understand
I know I’m a bit late but thank you. You have actually helped me so much and stopped me doing a lot of things. Your so kind and beautiful and I one day wish to be like you. All I can say is thank you. I wish you the best life as you’ve inspired me and many others. Thank you!! ☺️
You are really the best ❤️ You inspire me so much and I really admire your work and what you do ❤️ I took some of your ideas and I wrote a poem ❤️ He's not talking, he's silent But I can hear his voice He's screaming,shouting Telling himself that his not good enough That he never done something right He's telling himself to die But, I can't see his mouth moving He looks like his paying attention But his not, his really not All he does is he has a fight with himself He's eyes have no sparkle like is no life inside He's skin is paler that ever He's dead He's dead from the inside But you don't pay attention You are just asking "are you ok ?" Widouth carrying about what's going on You just want to be polite Because who cares about him He never speaks He's just that silent kid in the corner The one that once had his spark The one that was once happy But not anymore And how cares He never asked you if your ok did he ? He was never as polite as you are Maybe because he doesn't know how to do it Maybe because no one really cares about him And maybe just maybe because his only that silent kid from the corner You think that he didn't know what's going on You think that his just there for no reason You really think that he is nothing He's a no one, don't you think? He is someone, He might be the first person on Jupiter Or he might me the next president But he'll never be He'll just be the next suicidal story on the news He's just gonna be one that will be forgotten Like every single one of them Hope you'll like it ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this video😊 I love poetry💕 Im not huge into technicality but I do put a little forming and and planning into my poems such as the flow of it because I think of poetry as an art piece:) I really want to start spoken word poetry though and you've inspired me a lot through your style (which I admire btw😍) I also tend to find deeper meaning in people and things and love those meaningful deep conversations with friends:)
your literally my role model right now and I'm not saying it just to be noticed but I like the way you don't pretend like other youtubers who act like life is all cupcakes and rainbow but you live in the reality and you are EXTREMELY funny I love your videos keep doing what you do
I haven't really dabbled in spoken word necessarily, but I've found that half the time my poems are written in the middle of the night when my brain is too tired to get in its own way and my emotions flow freely.
omg you're so lucky! I over think EVERYTHING ,but honestly I love these tips and advice 💖 I had this project to write 2 poems every month in the beginning of the year but I've only writen one poem..which sucks but you really inspire me to write more often. THANKS 🖒😂
I know this is a bit late to comment, buy thanks. I was doing just this, when a friend started telling me i had no structure or understanding of how long my lines should be and crap and it started to feel like it wasnt mine anymore. Thank you for reassuring me.
Yes I want to say I do urban contemporary spoken word poetryeaning music poetry ithis is my first recently behind I I just speak about inspirational/aspire musicly but in words I just feels natural what comes to me and deep with in me and what ever is in mind and I said wow I did all this🎵🎵🎵🎵😁
When I write I let my thoughts control my hand I write whatever came to my mind that it doesn't make sense to me so I let other people make their own meaning when they read my writing
I partially agree with you. poetry has no rules and it shouldn't because it's considered art and there aren't any limits to art. whatever comes to your mind use what you've got to express it through words or colors... however. a great poet knows how to mix it up rhyming is nothing impressive anymore.. so you could understand the science of words and knowing how to deliver a message in a clear but attracting way. i've tried to add you on snap and contact you. but you don't accept meesages from people you haven't added back. anyway your messages are wonderful nobody can deny that but I genuinely am saying this because i know if you change a few things you will become so much more. for yourself eventually
You know, I just had an idea. There's an old song entitled "I Just Had You On My Mind", and if I could write "spoken word poetry", I'd write one similar to the lyrics of the song I just mentioned. Think there's any way you could view the lyrics to the song online and maybe write a spoken-word poem similar to it? Just a suggestion.
I just found your channel, watched 1 one of your vid and subscribe to you right away! I really love your personality, your videos and you're so gorgeous too! ❤❤
just randomly coming back to this advice after i uploaded my first poem today (not the best)* and trying to be confident to upload my dark side poetry😀
