    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.

    Listened and watched this 4 times consecutively... Standing firm on the very same spot, but moving, racing miles, while taking us all along, with Her words, Her facial expressions and waving signaling arms and hands... WHAT A NATURAL AND WONDERFUL POET!!! I'm mesmerized...❤❤❤

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!

      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.
