Poetry makes me think. Poetry makes me feel all sorts of emotions. Poetry tantalizes my senses. And sometimes poetry stops me - dead in my tracks.
Shane Koyczan, Canadian performance poet, did just that to me the night of the Olympic opening ceremonies, Vancouver. Sample "We Are More" - a proud Canadian tribute.
Note - Shane also writes a lot of poetry about bullying. While his content is moving and thought provoking, the language content is for an older audience and not suitable for younger audiences.
