Taylor Mali

Taylor Mali is a slam poet that I found on youtube while doing research for my communications class, and I absolutely love him and all he has to say.  This guy is hilarious and witty all while giving a great moral at the end of his poem.  Best of all, he is a teacher and uses his poetry to defend teachers regularly.  Here is my favorite of his poems:



Here is another one of his teacher related poems:


Brilliant! I love all of it!  But not all of his poems are about teaching.  Here is one of his funnier ones that anyone who has ever written an essay can appreciate:


And here's just one more.  It's not funny, but really makes you think.  Great poem:



Really makes me proud to hopefully teach one day! :)
