Favorite Poet[s]: Commoners and Kings

I love the written and spoken word. I try to soak up as much of it as I can. A while ago I came across Commoners and Kings on a podcast I frequently listen to. I was unable to find a lot on them to share, but recently I revisted their facebook and found a stream of videos they call "Street Series" of different impromptu poets they film performing on the streets of Southern California. This is one of the videos which happens to be one of the Commoners and Kings. Enjoy!

Buddy Wakefield: Convenience Stores

This is the poet I am obsessed with lately. I have always enjoyed him, but I recently got hold of his album, and that was the beginning of the obsession. It took forever to decide which piece I wanted to share; they're all so great. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZkofA_TWVw&w=480&h=390]
