When selecting this poem I looked at the first screen and thought, "This one ought to be good", because some of the things that Shane Koyczan says in his poems are absolutely funny while others can be moving. When he opened with wanting to have an octopus as a wingman I about died from laughter and then to continue with the story about wanting to gain revenge on a women from something said when he was a baby. I love that he wanted to bring 'grody' back and brought up different way to say it. I love the magic trick thought and the animation thought bubble that went with the audience. I love his analogies and his thoughts and that the animation was the primarily him in the center and just adding things and taking things away. Four minutes of Shane Koyczan thoughts I must admit was the best four minutes I have spent on Youtube.
Words are powerful when written down, but even more so when they are spoken. Shane Koyczan, a native Canadian, is a spoken word poet. I will share with you his poems and what I take from them. Spoken word has been around for many centuries and usually focuses on the words themselves and the way they sound, the gestures that a person uses with the words, and facial expressions. It brings feelings back to words in a society where technology has muted them.
