DefPoetry made me feel things as a teenager, it taught me the power of words in a message. Songs did too but the variety and depth of what could be said on that stage, with their voices alone, brought me to write for myself. I learned from beautiful wordsmith story tellers like Rives. Thank you.
this is the very 1st piece i heard from rives (when this episode aired), and by the end of this poem i'd fallen very deeply in like/lust with this man ;-)...my goodness, his way with words is hypnotizing.
I first heard him when I was 14, this very same poem. I'm turning 27 this year. I never tire if hearing his poems and stories. Genuinely as if I fall in love, awe, and respect for this man each time. I don't think I'll ever tire of him 🌻
My weird mind wanders and my brave heart breaks. I've nailed some milestones, but I make mistakes, cause I got more faults than a map of California earthquakes. I am taking a nap beneath your covers. Wake me if you like me. Wake me if you want me. Wake me if you want another poem. Your once and future lover has made himself at home.
I love this so much! It's amazing! I stumbled upon your website, and I read Jesse, and it made me laugh, and think, so I decided to read more, I read Kite, because it was mentioned in Jesse. I liked it, and decided to look for a video of it! I am all kinds of in love you right now!
Some of us do. Those of us that love to write, like myself. Generally speaking though, I think most of us live a pretty lonely life. I have written things for special people in my life many times. I feel like the process of creating something like this for someone is often undervalued. I think my mother has appreciated my writing way more than any woman. Usually I'm just met with an," Aw, that's so sweet." which isn't much of a reward for creating something that was so special to me and that I put so much time into. Maybe I'm just with the wrong women...but the only time I ever felt appreciated for it was by my mother and maybe one other girl. I feel like women only want guys like me for a moment. Like a thought or a poem. I really don't know many women who really want a sensitive/emotional guy. Maybe if it was appreciated more, more guys would do it.
For instance I write something for a girl and then she says something about it being sweet. Then I just feel like not doing it again, because it wasn't worth it to me. Just to hear some basic response. Why would I want to keep investing myself into creating something for someone who barely appreciates it?
I'm a pretty skinny kid so I love the lines "what kind of woman wants this skinny kid for a warrior" but the best one is "my weird mind wonders and my brave heart breaks I've meet some milestones but I make mistakes cause I got more faults than a map of California earthquakes."

Same. That ending. I reckon ill still be coming back in another 14

I fall in love with him every single time I watch a video. A true wordsmith.
I always end up coming back too all of his videos AT LEAST once a year.I can never get enough tbh
I still think about this poem:)
I don't think that I will ever get tired of hearing Kite.
