I never really got poetry until I heard a spoken word piece, and it just hit me.
Andrea Gibson's poems do this to me every damn time, and then I just sit there like, she put it into words. Beautifully, even. Amazingly.
I'm pretty visual, so I listen to Jellyfish and I can envision images that go along with the words. Often I try to express it with an illustration, but it doesn't quite fit right and I give up. This I saw and tried and feel like it came out alright, it's one of my many favorite parts. Actually, the whole thing is my favorite.

Some of my other favorites are Asking too Much, Panic Button Collector, and Bullets and Wind chimes.
TL;DR get some Andrea Gibson into your life
