Hey! I’m here to show you this NYC poet, Kioni Marshall, who has recently joined the poet ranks of NYC. However, there’s a big difference between her and her fellow poets:

She’s only 12.

Going by her stage name, Popcorn, Kioni writes about experiences that even she hasn’t gone through, including rape, murder, and loneliness. Listen to this excerpt from her poem, “Scraps”:

“What do you think when you see my smile? The nose of the father that you left with a child? Or is it my brown eyes that will never be yours? Is that the reason I’ve been feeding off scraps of love ever since you left?”

As you can see, she can feel an emotion and express it through words even though she hasn’t yet gone through it. This is an amazing ability, and she is wise beyond her years. Already Kioni has performed at one of the top poetry cafés, and has a unique voice that’s one half hunt-you-down-and-strike-you-with-a-chair, and one half crawl-under-a-rock-and-hide. She’ll definitely become one of 2013’s top poets, and as she says in her own words: “I believe poetry should be free-style, free written. The more space a bird has to fly, and the higher it can fly, the higher it probably will fly.” Learn more about Popcorn here!

Hey, check out these awesome pencil sculptures here, by a guy named Dalton Ghetti. He’s been doing carpentry for over 25 years, so this is a small project for him. Of course, he’s broken a few, so he keeps the broken ones in the “cemtery collection”. And he never sells them – he only gives them away to friends. Nice job, Dalton!

Happy New Year! A lot of us have seen the famous Ball Drop Ritual in New York City on TV, where a huge ball slowly drops to mark the new year. That’s all well and nice, but wouldn’t like to see something ELSE drop? Like a giant peach? or a gigantic Marshmallow Peep? or even a colossal Hershey’s Kiss? And if you have kids, wouldn’t you like it to be family friendly? Well, your wish is granted! Here’s a link to some of strangest ball drops that are also family friendly. Consider going to one, some even have early drops for the kids if bedtime comes before midnight. Check out all nine here. Besides, who doesn’t want to see a giant acorn?
