Poet In The City: Polar Bear - Music is my Medicine

[@slimvictor]

This is very moving. I was touched. I tasted the man's pain. It had the same old flavor I knew from my own childhood. His poem is profound. His delivery is spot-on. It looks like poetry is another kind of medicine.

[@ArtForThePeople]

That is absolutely stunning. Excellent piece of work. Lotta work in that, I can see it and I heard it. Well done. And...... we want more.

[@jkwizzle]

Excellent. Look, we need more poetry that appeals to youths. People need to use words more to express feelings which evoke a love for the language. We need pride for what we hide inside.
