In honor of my FIRST trip to the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe tonight, I present to you my favorite poet/favorite spoken word poem of all time: Shihan's "Flashy Words". When I listened to this poem for the first time, I got chills. I can actually recite this entire poem by heart; I know so because I've done it (alone, of course). Shihan's poetic abilities are absolutely ridiculous and I have so much respect for him. And he's actually hysterical in some of his poems, but completely emotional in some others. If you enjoy this poem as much as I did when I first heard it and are not very familiar to spoken word: Def Poetry Jam (any season 1-6) on Amazon. Do yourself a favor.
Say What?
