Andrea Gibson - I Sing the Body Electric
Say it louder for the people at the back! Tell 'em Porsha!
This poem is certainly ironic, almost obnoxious at points but then relapses into humor. I can definitely hear the assonance that is in the middle of the line as opposed to exclusively at the end like a nursery rhyme. There is also repitition at the end and some obvious themes.
I think the actual cinematography is better than the actual poetry we are supposed to be observing in this course, Eng 119. Certainly a lot of descriptive words and imagery.
This poem certainly has a sense of humor and the hesitency in the delivery adds to the tone of the poem. I almost feel like i am in the coffee shop watching him drop the ball. This might be my favorite poem yet from this class, Eng 119.
This is very vivid. There is an attention to sound through rhythm and assonance. It is also very descriptive and paints a vivid picture.
I need these quotes on a tshirt!
Very true. The person who did this to you is broken, not you. I did a similar piece, please check it out. ❤
I feel every bit of this living this way my entire life, except it was my father that never understood. I wish I could give this girl a hug. 😢❤
"You will not cut off my tongue" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Muna I am so proud of you!
Boys "liking" each other is kinda wrong to begin with. Parading it leads to bad ends.
Careful with that like button! The algorithm might disapprove! I'm assuming that MUST be what you mean, right? This can't be homophobia in 2024, right? Pretty sure we've had plenty of that and have moved on. Yep.
❤
I love her! I wish she had more poetry out, I think I listened and saved everything already 😅❤❤❤
Hmmmmm I bet we have more we haven't run. I'll go look. Also (lowdown) there are talks about a record and a new book.
🔥 ❤️ 😍
I saw Porsha Olayiwola in my notification and couldn't get here fast enough 🫰🏻💜🫰🏻
Love her
Don't let the haters get you down

I find her amazing. She put all my feelings into words that actually make sense to me.
woah… it really takes me back….
Oprah Winfrey likes this little lady's poetry.
I listened to this poem every week for 2 years. Xx
I remember seeing this so many years ago and it still hits just as hard. Great poem and performance
Your still alive act like it I like this saying because it has meaning that there is better more better days out there to sink in and. 2 Make a way don’t give up even when u think it’s the hardest part jus keep pushing 🦍❤
if you really wanna watch this. Mute it and turn on subtitles. Infinitely better.
i came from melted demon bones 👍
I won’t be another drowning fish

I see what you're doing there. Clever. Very clever
Sneaky little spies with their judgy little eyes, pair quite well with sneaky little boys, and "the game" they play......
To know everything and nothing about , these experiences
What are some thoughts on the “my dad used to tell the same joke, but I can’t remember the punchline” line?lol. I like this poem and I understand the rest of it, but I can’t totally figure that part out. Any input will be appreciated
🐻
“Because what has your body done to merit this abuse” i lost it at this part. Thankyou for being the voice for us who hide ours on this subject
“Amar você foi a última coisa em que me senti realmente bem”. Desde que esse verso fez sentido pra mim pela primeira vez, em 2017, nunca mais deixou de fazer.😢
To this day, I cry to this piece.
Brilliantly done!
I like the idea of a manic pixie dream girl though 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Of course I have the 10 year anniversary of my favorite spoken-word marked on my calendar, don’t you?
Wow very very nice sharing my friend👍👍👍❤good day new sabsakribr❤
you can’t make fire feel afraid ..
I see zach goldberg i like

This poem says things I want to say to my father.
