"We breathe in, we breathe out." So simple, but when this kid said it, it felt as if he changed my reality. This was amazing, I will breathe out yesterdays air ... FREAKING amazing.
Here we are a year later and stunned by 13 year-old Solli's self-penned poem and delivery at today's Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony. 4 minutes long, dramatic and unhesitating - just amazing! I'm sure it'll be on TH-cam soon.
Solli, Wow indeed! You were amazing! This brought tears to my eyes. I've shown your video to my two boys, 7 and 9 year olds, to try and inspire them to get creative. Well done.
Solli Raphael I can't wait to see what you decide to do for a career- you have an amazing level of awareness for a young boy your age that would rival that of people in my age group of 41. Best wishes to you.
Solli Raphael , Congratulations, young sir. That was a seriously righteous piece delivered with an absolutely flawless flow. I caught your performance (a different piece) at the Coffs heat and was absolutely blown away. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
He is a 12 year old kid. He deserves love and support and plenty of respect for performing so confidently in front of a crowd. I hope I will be forgiven for not kneeling before him or behind him - what was all that about? unless you are part of the performance, perhaps you should vacate the stage. I found it kind of creepy. Anyway, Solli, if you are reading this, the world needs it's poets and I wish you all the best.
