I found that this was a very sweet poem because it was a redo for someone who he knew was very important to him. I hope that Penny hears this poem and loves it because she is very special and had a poem written for her, full of memories from grade school. I liked that he still tied in snow angels into the new poem and it was more appropriate than the first thing he wrote. I found that he kept tying in dinosaurs in the poem and thought that maybe it was just there thing that others may not understand. I liked that the crowd seemed to enjoy everything. I wonder if this girl Penny was also the same girl in the To This Day poem because she was the same age as the other girl in that poem. I also noticed that this girl was picked on too, but she also stood up for Shane Koyczan in school when he was picked on. I liked that he seems to still think about her and remembers so much about her and still seems to love her. The corny valentines brought back my own memories of grade school and handing out valentines to everybody in class. It was nice to think back to that, something I haven't thought of for awhile.
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.
