beat that poetry

Short post here; I was thinking about our first class, where we discussed our favourite poems. I mentioned this then, so I'll mention this now.


It is long. I won't pretend otherwise, but, what else do you have to do today?

The main reason I enjoy this (beat)poem isn't the subject matter, but the nuances that go into a live performance of poetry. Is it the difference between reading Shakespeare and watching a play? Something like that!

    I love Tim Minchin! I've never seen this video before though. I agree with what you said about the differences between live performances and reading poetry, especially in a case such as Minchin's where he is such a dynamic performer. I like how he gets into character for this and sets up a scene and tells a story. Thanks for sharing. :)
