spoken word.

should I do it and conform? BUT a few of my poems I meant to be spoken word before everyone started posting videos.. but I have no clue how youtube works. help?

so a bunch of people do spoken word videos on youtube for like every poem, and that's cool and all, and pretty awesome that you can make it work with all your poems

but I only have a few that are meant to be read aloud
because there's a certain tone I want to capture in them.

I don't have a youtube account.. idk if I'll make one
it depends on how many poems I plan on reading

but here is the list for my personal records and if people bug me enough AND teach me how to use youtube I might do it.

recently a lot of them are spoken word. it's odd :\

nothing will stop us: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5884837
it's in the abc's of growing up: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5874451
life and love: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5869055
flightless: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5868885
*sarcoma: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5782743
if and only if: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5763663
*a child once said: 'life isn't fair': http://allpoetry.com/poem/5683577
my life in a nutshell: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5673329
*the forbidden fruits of escape: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5602149
*nothingness: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5506827
the whites of my eyes hurt: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5282029


* weren't meant to be spoken word originally, but then I read them out loud to a friend and I thought they sounded okay.

**in reverse chronological order. so the whites of my eyes hurt was originally my first spoken word. I'm sure I had others before that that could have sounded good.. but I didn't think of it at the time so idk.

if you guys think other ones should be read out loud feel free to tell me.
I kinda really want to do this now.
a huge factor in my decision is because when I hear poetry said aloud by the person who wrote it, it just sounds so much more real and emotional, like you can get more of an insight into what they were thinking when they wrote it.
so for some of those.. I won't be recording the videos until I get into the same - or similar - mindset I was in when I wrote them.
