Leopold Sedar Senghor
Leopold Sedar Senghor, one of the greatest of all African writers, knows that poetry is based on the word, all great poetry is "spoken word poetry, poetry or not.
"In Africa, when an elder dies, it's like a library burning. "Amadou Ba Hampaté was Mali's ambassador to the United Nations when he said this, and can not find a better example of what Leopold Sedar Senghor meant when he said poetry comes from the word.
Amadou was shocked and was "truly himself, when he spoke those words at UNESCO in 1962, and no sooner were the words were spoken poetry.
Shakespeare wrote many of the most beautiful words ever uttered in the English language. His sonnets are truly spoken word poetry, because his words are poems, which were meant to be spoken.
His sonnets are love poems, a love that speaking out loud is a love that will never come alive. You can obtain the full collection of Shakespeare's sonnets and other wonderful collections of poetry ones in the world in Talking-Book-Store.com.

The King James Bible contains some of the world's most beautiful poems are the spoken word. "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God", Jesus said. He was quoting Moses, who was one of the first poets of the spoken word.
The Bible is full of poetry: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. "The first verse of the Gospel of John speaks of the power of the spoken word to create, and it gives me the most rhythmic, stirring, and authentic speech ever recorded by man.
Yes, Leopold Sedar Senghor was right: the poetry comes from the word.
Some of the my favorite word poetry is in the New Testament: "Now we see through a mirror dimly, but then face to face: now I know in part but then shall I know as I am known, "wrote Paul in his first letter to the Church at Corinth.
Dr. Martin Luther King, alluded to this verse, saying: "Everything what we see is a shadow of what you do not see. "
