“This world is made out of sugar,
it can crumble so easily,
but don’t be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.”

Sarah Kay started performing poetry at age 14.

Some poetry is meant to be heard, not read. Hear her here.

  1. receiving a standing ovation…

    Sarah Kay Applause

  2. I still can’t believe TED stole the startup sequence from the Apple TV to intro its videos. Or is it the other way ’round?

  3. wonderful post! will come back to it after work to listen to the video:)

    and some kids do not need to be taught boundaries and some adults unfortunately do:) but i am sincerely for the world where everyone’s potential is opened like a flower… even if it is an illusion or a dream:) and terrific portrait as usual!

    and as for the spoken word i have only one word "wow!!!"

  4. This is the stuff dreams are made of; you wake up and recall little identifiable pieces, yet their taste lingers for a while longer.

  5. like the emotional aftertaste of a shared experience

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/heet_myser/] – not sure. Apple TV came out in 2007, and the TED video intro format predates that.

  6. I really enjoyed this talk by Sarah and I met her at TED and she was as delightful in person as when performing on stage. Nice pics, specially her face when hearing a standing ovation.
